Hi Nick. While daytime calling by Tawny Frogmouths (Frogmithe??) isn't
unknown, it's certainly uncommon. I wonder if you heard a Common
Bronzewing, which has a not dissimilar call? Just a thought, and if
you're confident of your i.d., then stick with it!
cheers

I
was cycling up Mt Stromlo about 10am today and heard the
distinctive “ooom...ooom” call of a Tawny Frogmouth on the left a
couple of bends below the water treatment plant. When I came down the
hill
about 15 minutes later it was still calling from the same location.
I’ve
only ever heard them previously at night. Is it normal for them to call
during
the day?
