Tawny Frogmouth

The Tawny Frogmouth is one of Australia’s most widespread nocturnal birds, easily recognised for its ability to blend seamlessly into tree branches. Often mistaken for an owl, it is actually more closely related to nightjars. Tawny Frogmouths are found in nearly every part of Australia where there are trees, including urban parks, gardens, woodlands, and forest edges, and are a familiar sight for many Australians.
