Tawny Frogmouth

They are the coolest birds- our pair imitate the neighbour's toy poodles (not the most redeeming feature....)

Nature at its finest! What great camoflage that bird has. A great capture, and I love the close up (crop?) of the head.

Thankyou, the second pic is not a crop though, I got very close to this bird

bobthefish, wildbirds or are they captive?..I am trying to imagine what that sounds like LOL!

T.D., thankyou

Excellent shots of this strange looking bird.

How cool is that! I would have TOTALLY missed him!

Tallking about perfect blend...great captures Witchy.

That is a freaking awesome bird, and great shots as well. Phenomenal camoflage!

thanks everyone for all the encouraging comments, I do appreciate it

Wow that is an amazing animal. I'm so impressed by his color. Great capture and thanks a lot for sharing. I have to say that camo would be worth a lot of money in the store. What a great pattern.

Congrats on a great capture. Well done and good eye. I surely would have walked right by him, what a great camouflage.

Did you find this in the wild or at a zoo of some sort?

I live on a small property, we have 4 acres..I found this bird whilst walking around our property with hubby..We get all sorts of wildlife here but often I am caught out without my camera

Thank again everyone for taking the time to look and for your comments

You have a good set of eyes. I would have missed him for sure.
