I visited some of the local Tawny Frogmouths during the afternoon.
I stared at Morton Park on Canterbury Road. I spotted both adult Tawny Frogmouths perched close to each other in a tree. Previously, I had seen on on a nest, so I assume their nest has failed.
Next, I caught a bus to Canterbury, and then started walking down the Cooks River.
At The Boat Harbour – I spotted a Tawny Frogmouth on a nest –
The second of the pair is perched very close.
I got talking to Barney who lives nearby, and two of his friends. They told me they had just seen the parent on the nest feeding a chick. Good news!
Next stop was Ewen Park. The Tanwy in still on its nest high in a tree –
And last stop was at the Cricket Nets area. I spotted an adult Tawny Frogmouth on its nest, but when I looked form the other side, I could see a chick watching me –
