This little feathered friend landed in one of our Grevillea Trees this afternoon and I just had to share him with you,
we are often visited by Tawny Frogmouths usually in a family of three.
But this afternoon this chap was on his own.
Perched about shoulder high in the tree, he sat so still.
He wasn't as well Camouflaged as they usually
are when they come into our backyard.
I was able to get within 30cm of him with my camera
and he obliged by opening his eyes a little wider and
even turned his head to watch me as
I walked around to the other side of him.
I wonder if the other two who usually accompany him were sitting
close by watching me take photos of this one - probably!
As a matter of interest it is now after 9:40pm
and he is still perched in the same spot.
