Sacred kingfisher Tawny frog mouth owls

vendredi 3 avril 2015

Just happened to be pondering life the universe and everything when a bird flew past me and landed on a branch, that looks like something different, so grabbed the camera and managed to get a few shots before it flew off. I thought it might be one of the Kingfishers, after a bit of googleing I think it's a Sacred Kingfisher.

Another time I was near the Mulberry tree setting up to turn a compost pile and I heard this soft screeee kinda noise, look up and it's four Tawny frogmouth owls, actually there were five, I didn't see the fifth one till later. It's in the fork above the far right

It's not too unusual to one by itself day or night but five is a bit unusual, my guess is it's mum and dad and three young ones. They stayed there all day, seemed to be quite ok, I got a bit of a stare at times tho
