Frogmouths, the mysterious creatures of the night, captivate us with their unique features and behaviors. In south-western Australia, a pair of Tawny Frogmouths found solace in a Jarrah Tree as they nested for two consecutive years in 1957 and 1958. Their nest, perched about 10m above ground level, became their sanctuary. These enigmatic birds possess cryptic plumage and an uncanny resting pose that allows them to blend seamlessly into branches, and is almost impossible to spot a Tawny Frogmouth camouflaged on a branch, showcasing nature's remarkable camouflage skills. In Tasmania, Australia, an albino Tawny Frogmouth named Podargus strigoides stands out from its counterparts due to its unique appearance. This rare sighting reminds us of the diversity within this species. Meanwhile, in Taman Negara National Park, Blyths Frogmouth sits diligently at its nest on a branch. Its presence adds charm to the lush surroundings as it remains perfectly still amidst nature's symphony. Another fascinating member of this family is the Short-tailed Frogmouth found in Kerinci Seblat National Park. With grace and poise, it perches on a branch like an ancient guardian silently watching over its domain. Australia boasts three subspecies of these captivating birds inhabiting various habitats including open woodlands. The Broome Bird Observatory in Western Australia provides shelter for one such Tawny Frogmouth among a jumble of branches—a testament to their adaptability and resilience. Moving away from Australia but no less intriguing is Sri Lanka's very own Sri Lanka Frogmouth. These adult pairs find comfort at daytime roosts while enchanting observers with their majestic presence during February's mild weather. Venturing further east brings us to Way Kambas National Park where we encounter both Large and Goulds Frogmouths perched gracefully on branches.
