Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae), may have bitten off more than it can swallow. Back in 2019 at #UQ Lakes.

The #UQ Tawny Frogmouth chick has grown somewhat and now looks like a miniature version of the adults.
It did not care in the least about the couple of hundred staff partying in the Great Court underneath.

Curious George, the Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) chick at #UQ can apparently fly as his adventures continue. This morning he was found in yet another tree, this time being babysat by Mum Tawny Frogmouth. #birdphotography #nature #birdwatching #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #NaturePhotography #BirdsSeenIn2022 #WildOz #Ozbirds #BirdNerds #UQwildlife #TawnyFrogmough

In addition to checking on Curious George, I also checked the Australian Wood Duck family that I found at #UQ last Saturday. Pleased to say they've still got the full family of 6 ducklings! #birdphotography #nature #birdwatching #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #NaturePhotography #BirdsSeenIn2022 #WildOz #Australia #Ozbirds #BirdNerds #UQwildlife #UQ #conservation #biodiversity #scicom #BirdsOfMastodon

The University of Queensland Great Court Tawny Frogmouth chick, Curious George went on an adventure!
He fell/was knocked out of his tree. Fortunately someone kindly put him back on his tree, albeit in another tree from the one he exited from. I went and checked on him at about 1pm.
I'm guessing that the parents got as big a scare as their Tawny Frogmouth chick because while the dad was usually snuggled up with the chick, mum was often quite a distance away. Not any more. She's keeping close stations just in a branch above.
3 images from when I went to check on them at about 1pm.

Mother Tawny Frogmouth was off in another tree having a bit of a groom and a snooze.
