A Tawny Frogmouth landed on my balcony handrail a couple of evenings ago. I tried to get a photo, but, while it was happy for me to look, it saw the camera as a threat and flew off. So here's an older photo!

You’re being watched! Those eyes follow you everywhere! Tawny Frogmouths usually sleep during the day, so if you wake one you’ll get the stare.

Tawny Frogmouths are not owls - although they look like one! They are one of my favourite birds - in spite of the angry stare!
