Tawny Frogmouth fact sheet

• The Tawny Frogmouth is related to the Owl
• Tawnies are nocturnal hunters
• They prey mainly on ground dwelling invertebrates such as insects and spiders, but will also hunt mice
• During the day, Tawnies camouflage so well that they are nearly invisible in tree branches when they have their eyes closed and their head up
• Tawny Frogmouths are quite common in the forest and open woodland across the whole of the continent

I thought they were an Owl, but no only related.

Cheers,
Duncan
PS Thankyou Ron.

Aaah, thanks Duncan ..., so they are related to the owl. Interesting birds, and certainly owl-like.
