Robin,

If the behaviour of your Tawny Frogmouths is anything like those I've been watching up at the Pinnacle, then the other TF is almost certainly sitting on a nest in a nearby tree. Look around carefully, particularly at horizontal stretches of tree limb, possibly where a limb forks.

For those interested, there has been a pair of Tawny Frogmouths perching on a tree along the path to the top of Mt. Ainslie for about a month. This morning I spotted only one of them, so possibly they are in the process of moving camp. (From past experience, they are quite habitual, both appearing and disappearing for many weeks at a time).

If you want to check them out, take the path up from behind the War Memorial - about 2/3rds the way up the hill there are two tight "U-turns" in the path, each bounded by a rock wall. Continue about 50-75m past the upper of these bends to the galvanised iron piping on the LHS of the path. The tree with the frogmouth(s) is right here on your left, and you should easily spot the bird(s) (if TFs are ever easy to spot!) looking up and in the general direction of the city.
