This King Parrot has became a regular visitor for a while, but now Spring has sprung, I guess there are other things on its mind.

We spent nearly all winter looking for the Tawny Frogmouth pair, then late August we found them - roosting a lot lower than previously, and only visible from a certain direction.

On 6 September, I noticed the new nest partially destroyed and blamed the Pied Currawongs. The next day the male Frogmouth was reviewing the partially destroyed nest and I thought they would move on. The following two days the female Frogmouth was in her normal roost, but no sign of the male; then on 9 September we found him on a rebuilt nest high above the female's roost. We expect to see hatching activity on or around 9 October.
