The Tawny Frogmouths I have been watching this year have fledged.
There were originally three young, but one was found under the nest with a wound on its head/neck probably from a currawong.
They will remain in the area for another 10 days or so, learning to fly and hunt. Anyway - here is a pictorial record of this year.
