Masters of camoflage the Tawny Frogmouth can be found on an exposed limb to mimic a broken branch. Eyes watch attentively through narrow slits as they hunt at night for frogs, spiders, large insects, small mammals and birds. The distinguished coat resembles weathered hardwood and lichen and also gives away the animals sex. There are a number of colour variations around Australia and in this case although both sexes are grey in colour, only females like the one on the right have brown shoulders. Frogmouths are predominately sedentary birds found in woodland and open forest including Earthcare Park.
