Tawny Frogmouth aka Podargus strigoides as seen in bushland near our house in western Brisbane.
These are a nocturnal bird that fly almost silently at night and sit quietly in a tree during the day.

I have 2 main target birds for my 2026 birding trip to Thailand: Spoon-billed Sandpiper & the Frogmouths. Here is the Hodgson’s Frogmouth, such an amazing bird, reminds me of the Potoos I saw in South America❣️#hodgsonsfrogmouth #frogmouth #birds #birdingtrip2026 #birdwatching #wildlife

#Frogmouth

A Tawny Frogmouth, sitting on top of an Australian style clothes line, looking right towards the camera. The conditions are near darkness, but the photo does not show that, as the bird appears will lit due to the long exposure

Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides)

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

Adult in characteristic camouflaged mode with straightened body and colouration that looks like a branch.. male adult is facing to the right with closed eye and side view of large beak

Tawny #frogmouth voted Australian 2025 bird of the year - and it’s about time! Here’s one of my favourite photos of a curious chick and parent (male) desperately trying to get the fluffball to imitate how to look like a branch 😊 #Camoflauge #AwesomeBirds #wildoz

Tawny frogmout spotted late this afternoon in Henry Ziegenfusz Park, Cleveland.

Another local, this one's special skill is looking like a stick. The Tawny frogmouth is found in most parts of Australia except the desert, and is often mistaken for an owl.

A little tawny #frogmouth gets a meal from its mama.
Often mistaken for #owls, tawny frogmouths are actually more closely related to #nightjars. These masters of camouflage blend perfectly into tree branches, remaining motionless during the day and active at night.

Honestly, just floored with all the support and love from this weekend and I'm still recovering. We love you all.

A tawny frogmouth, a stocky, big-headed bird roughly 40cm long, back to camera. It's a flash picture taken at night, and although the bird is easily seen its superb camouflage of broken brown, black and cream patches is obvious. Against many native trees and particularly eucalyptus it's almost invisible by day.

I don't have a #SuperbOwl picture at all, so here is a Tawny Frogmouth, (Podargus strigoides), back resolutely to the TV, NOT watching sportsball.

A tawny frogmouth in profile, snoozing on a branch. The frogmouth has speckled cream and brown plumage that camouflages it superbly against the bark of many native trees, which are similarly toned and speckled. Here, it's less successful.
