Michael and Fiona from the Greenway Birdos had spotted a Tawny Frogmouth family perched in a park in Dulwich Hill, close to Canterbury Road. I went in the late afternoon to see if I could spot them.
I did eventually. One problem was that I was looking too high. These birds move from day to day for their roosting. When Michael and Fiona had some them they had seen an adult and two chicks perched in a Casuarina. So that was where I looked. But this evening, they were perched in a Jacaranda, and a lot lower darn than I expected. Again there was one adult and two chicks.
I stayed and watched them for a while. One of the chicks was awake.
I left then and went home for dinner. I returned just after sunset to see if could get some photos of them waking up and flying. Sunset was at 8:06 and I returned at about 8:15 and by that time they had gone. I will have to come back another evening.
