EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Don Hadden, we witness the incredible sight of a Tawny Frogmouth indulging in an unexpected rain bath. Despite the dry spell that had persisted for days, nature's surprise shower prompted this charismatic bird to spread its wings and revel in the refreshing downpour. Perched at Mt Barnett along Gibb River Road in Kimberley, Western Australia, this common yet enchanting creature showcases its playful side as it takes advantage of every opportunity to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Known for their adaptability across various habitats throughout Australia (except treeless deserts), these nocturnal beauties prove that they are not just masters of camouflage but also skilled rain dancers! With feathers glistening under the rainfall and eyes twinkling with delight, our feathered friend demonstrates the importance of embracing spontaneous moments and finding joy even when least expected. As it gracefully cleanses itself amidst nature's gift, we can't help but be reminded of how essential self-care is for all creatures big and small. So next time you find yourself caught in an unexpected shower or feeling blue on a rainy day, let this charming Tawny Frogmouth inspire you to spread your wings and embrace life's little surprises – because sometimes all it takes is a splash of rain to make everything feel right again!
