Observation details
I was heading up the rockier hill into the forests when, all of a sudden, I heard the most unusual, throbbing chuckle; I genuinely thought it was a Kookaburra, such was the quality of the laughter... I set off in hot pursuit!! Shining my light around, I was getting a little frustrated that the culprit wouldn't show... but then... there!! Just metres from my face, rocking back and forth as it made that strange resonant laugh, was a beautiful pearly grey Frogmouth!! The following photoshoot may well be the best I've had with Frogmouths in their natural nocturnal state...
