Tawny Frogmouth

I'm looking after a fledgling tawny frogmouth until he's strong and old enough to be released.
The people I got him from (who finally realized he needed proper care) had hand-raised him a for a few weeks after he had fallen from his nest, so he's quite social and affectionate.
Hopefully we can get him nice and strong and in a few months he'll be ready to take flight and make his own way in the world. Well, in the nature reserve next to our house anyway.

    Wow, another little feathered friend. I love the tawnies. We have them too - they can be quite often seen sitting on our gate at night.
