A couple of Tawny Frogmouths taken in our local Toohey Forest, perched some 10 metres from the ground.

Tawny Frogmouths are nocturnal birds. During the day, they perch on tree branches, often low down, camouflaged as part of the tree.

When a roosting Tawny Frogmouth is discovered, it usually adopts a static posture which makes it resemble a broken-off branch: it perches stiffly, sleeking its plumage and orientating its tail along the branch, and narrowing its eyes to slits. In addition, its plumage, a blend of spots, blotches and streaks of grey, brown, black and tawny, blends in almost perfectly with its surroundings.

I suspect the bird looking into the camera is an inquisitive juvenile.

Cheers

Dennis

This looks like a sun parakeet.
If so, it's in an odd place- Pattaya, Thailand

When wandering about, if they're settled into a short routine then all's good. Otherwise they can be flitty and Off!
