Tawny Frogmouth

I still remember their terrifying calls during early night and evening twilight time. Their voice is very strange. They mostly seat on ground and hide in dried leafs.

Ashish, it's actually a very lazy nightjar. They don't catch things on the wing, instead they sit on a branch and wait for a mouse or skink to run underneath, and then pounce on it.
