Today I was fortunate.... indeed very fortunate, because in a tree right near my balcony sat two Tawny Frogmouth birds. These are commonly thought to be of the owl family, but in fact they are not. They are extremely difficult to spot as they sit dead still for hours on end and are so well camouflaged that they are often mistaken for the branch they sit on. Today was hot, nearly 40 degrees C as I watched the formula 1 GP on the TV, and their only movement was to moderate their body temperature by opening and closing their beaks very slowly.
