Tawny Frogmouth

Scientific Name: 

Pordargus strigoides

Amazing smallish nightjar that fools the casual observer by imitating the branch it's sitting on. Often seen in the garden. I spotted a nest one day several metres up in a milkwood tree. with an adult sitting alongside a very fluffy white chick.
