Since we have arrived back from overseas I have been able to confirm that the Carwoola Frogmouths have at least 2 chicks. It seems likely that the pairs in Flynn, Ainslie and 1 of those on the Pinnacle have at least 1 chick. All very satisfactory. I have been intrigued that I have not been able to find the female Carwoola frogmouth since returning, despitse a reasonably determined search. However this morning I caught sight of her "out of the corner of my eye" as I was looking at a Buff-rumped thonbill. Exactly as recommended by Stuart Rae! Also conforming to Stuart's comments, she has moved to the tree nearest the nest tree (rather than a similar tree about 20m further away. I have no idea whether this is related to the hatching of the chicks. Martin |
