Tawny Frogmouth family

Masters of camouflage. They sit still on a tree branch all day, blending beautifully with the tree.

They were all aware I was there. I was sitting on the ground just below them - I could almost have touched them.

More Pork, More Pork!
When I was young we always called them Mopokes because of their call at night. (which sounds like more pork!)

June, the Mopoke is the Southern Boobook owl. The 2 of them are often confused, with the Frogmouth making a range if sounds. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawny_frogmouth
