They have favourite trees. But of course, every time they move it is a challenge to find them the next day.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-91082014762274267482010-04-05T10:27:09.144+10:002010-04-05T10:27:09.144+10:00Hi Catmint

Who knows?<br />Thanks for dropping by.<br />I visit your Cedar Glades from time to time, too.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-16974394066457668202010-04-05T10:16:27.537+10:002010-04-05T10:16:27.537+10:00Hi Mosura

It would be nice to know exactly where they go, but as their range inclues some hundreds of trees, many of which are not in our property, that is not going to happen.<br /><br />Assuming they do nest again (and the foul currawongs do likelwise) I will try to get an image of the frogmouth's open gape (a real maw)as they threaten a swooping 'wong.<br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-25372415166554856642010-04-05T05:09:10.933+10:002010-04-05T05:09:10.933+10:00I like the little frog - although maybe not on my ...I like the little frog - although maybe not on my cabbage leaves.
