In the middle of nowhere! In the ruined silver mining town of Silverton in desert Australia.
HFF to all and a sincere wish for a rewarding and happy weekend, and a lovely new week ahead.
In a tree above my tent

A tawny frogmouth. At midnight, while camping, strange noises woke me. I shone a torch high up a tree above my tent, saw this bird, and photographed it. It is not an owl. Why? Unlike owls they don't have curved talons on their feet; in fact, their feet are small, and they're said to walk like a gout-ridden man! Their species name, strigoides, means owl-like. They're nocturnal and carnivorous, but Tawny Frogmouths aren't owls – they're more closely related to Nightjars.
They are beautiful creatures!
