First walk post release from 🦠ISO detention & I’m not too sure if the local Tawnies were as impressed as me. Mind you, it was blowing a gale & the wind chill would have sublimated air.

Tawny Puffer Fish!

Resident Tawny frogmouths captured late afternoon in their current roost. Female, in the centre, is aware & intently watching the camera guy & the male (lower) is doing his best lookaway impression of a puffer fish.

And today we found the pair!

Weeks since we spotted a lone Tawny along the Puffing Billy rail line, today we happily stumbled across the pair. Someone doesn’t look as pleased. Good birbs these.

Tawny frogmouth very alert in its tree alongside the Puffing Billy Railroad just outside of Gembrook Station.

Federal Reserve this afternoon & found one of the pair who, last year, inhabited the small section of bush near the tennis club. It’s partner perished earlier this year due to secondary poisoning. Given all of this, isn’t this an impressive pose?

Still haven’t located any Tawny frogmouths out here in Gembrook but I may take a nighttime wander along Station Rd where Puffing Billy comes into town. There are a few tell-tale accumulations of šŸ’© near street lights that attract moths which serve as entree for Tawnies. We shall see.

Anyhoo, here’s the Mt. Waverley adult captured as a ventured back to old haunts last week.

Only 5 mournful days until we leave these beauties behind & start a new adventure in Gembrook. I’m sure there will be other species over there to ā€˜annoy.’

Two images, one taken immediately following the other. It amazes me how quickly the high beams can be dipped by these enigmatic birds.

Bebbee pair! Suspected the nest over Gardiner’s Creek was home to a pair of bebbee Tawny frogmouths: yesterday this was confirmed with both on display as the two shots below show. The frailty & precariousness of the nest on full display.

I do like these birbs.

Some times, ok most times, Tawnies just don’t play fair. With that level of camouflage… who would?

@jtk @loren they are intriguing animals. I’m lucky to see several each day. This guy from just now whilst walking the dog.

@loren of the totally inoffensive variety, unlike the electronic versions. ;p

Could only spot a lone Tawny on this morning’s walk with Arlo the wonder dog.
