A family of three tawny frogmouths has taken to roosting in our dead gum tree in the front of our block. It has become a sport for the kids to ‘count how many owls we have today’. I had been looking at the dead tree and thinking about trimming it up a bit but leaving it for habitat … I am certainly leaving it as habitat now
Something I had not been aware of: Avoid using pesticides or snail baits where frogmouths feed, as they love to eat snails, slugs and moths [2]
