Cute frogmouths :thumbsup:

they generally roost in the same spot or close by , we had a pair where I used to work who sat on the same branch through the day for years.

Nice shot but actually they are Tawney frog mouths , no relation to owls
whats so ever. They are members of the Night-Jar family .
