Tawny Frogmouth

Podargus strigoides

Description:

Grey-brown plumage. 35-50cm. Broad bill, bristled frons & yellow eye.

Habitat:

Found in open woodland throughout Australia. I spotted this little guy on the way to work. So strange to see them through the day as they are mainly nocturnal.

Nice series. These look like little old men to me.

Love these guys! Nice spotting, Leanne.
