Observation details
It's been far too long since I actually got to see these like this!! I was peering intently over the fence at the property limits when, up off the ground in a billow of rounded wings, a Frogmouth leapt up right nearby!!! There it sat, neck rolling back and forth, watching the ground intently for potential meals... and as I manoeuvred to bag a better shot, I was stunned to find another one on a spindly branch right in front of me!! This one wasn't anywhere near as active as the first, but it actually throbbed a single, loud note as I turned back to its mate... what a fantastic creature the Frogmouth is!!
