Just love Tawny Frogmouths,.
I rescued a chick a few years back .
He kept falling and I picked him up and set him on a branch for mum to feed him.
Eventually they were away, but he came back a few times top say thanks.. stuff like that makes life nicer….
There is a pic of him on the birds of a feather thread

When I was young, my brother had a tawny as a pet - well as close as you could have a wild bird as a pet, It would ride around on his shoulder all the time and was very protective of him. They are gorgeous birds.

Who'd have thunk back then our world would have gotten even stranger.

Looks lovely and there I was stuck at work (much easier to go in than work from home). Never mind, at least I am playing my part in moving some much needed funding to providers to continue services to the aged. It's actually quite fulfilling.

My childhood house backed onto Bannister Creek. I remember building a 'bridge' over the river and we had a tree house that our next door neighbour (who was a builder) helped us build! We used to get a lot of snakes in our backyard, but fortunately our back yard was split over 4 levels so they generally didn't come up past the bottom one. Once or twice we had one go up a level and saunter around the pool though.

In keeping with your theme, here is one from my home office recently.

Do you have frogs in those rocks in the background?

The view from my home office....... they've been at it again! Looks like it is squirrel on the menu today.

What am I seeing here?

What am I seeing here?

Fantastic Mrs Fox in my London backyard, a BBQ in its cover as it's raining, a baby fox.... and in the last photo, lunch; a nice tasty squirrel.

Are you sure it's not a hedgehog rather than a squirrel?

The non-dark colour you can see is its guts hanging out

With the relaxation of the W.A. gathering restrictions my grand-kids wanted to come over and visit us. Some nice person had placed a number of stuffed animals in trees near us and as it was another PERfect day we took them on a Bear Hunt.

This bike path and copse of trees is about 100 metres from our front door.

I thought I saw a p u s s y cat! (Edit: I keep writing 'p u s s y cat', without the spaces but the system continually changes it to 'cat cat' A hyperactive censorship function perhaps? Mrs Slocombe would have been horrified)

That's how you tell them apart?
