STD have been seen, and heard, v. regularly around the neighbourhood of Corroboree Park (Toms Crescent etc) in last year, but this morning, I think for the first time, I saw two together. Photo 1 shows an adult and an apparent immature. The second photo, a few hours later, an immature one only- I assume the same one. Philip Veerman's Canberra Birds (p. 56) mentions only "occasional observations of more than one bird."

The Tawny Frogmouth(s) in Corroboree Park (two for a few days around Aug 15, one ever since), which has been spending the day in the same tree for almost 5 weeks - at least since first noticed - seems to have moved on. Last seen am 18 Sept, absent pm yesterday and today am. How long do they usually stay in the same tree?
