What IS that? A frogmouth? Really?

4:03 To "change" an already coined phrase: Let sleeping frog(mouth)s lie."

Wikipedia:

The frogmouths are a group of nocturnal birds related to the nightjars. They are found from India across southern Asia to Australia.

They are named for their large flattened hooked bills and huge frog-like gape, which they use to take insects. Their flight is weak.

4:03 Hi to all.

I love Frogmouths...
Particularly their 'stillness'... and ability for camouflage - they can be very hard to spot in the wild...it is hard enough to spot them when you know that they are actually in an enclosure at the zoo!
Spotted one recently in a local park..
This is a great photo ...thank you whoever is responsible.
