Is someone able to advise whether there is a parenting "standard" amongst Tawny Frogmouths - that is, whether it falls consistently to one parent or the other to attend the nest/chick whilst the other parent roosts nearby? With this pair, the parent at the nest seems to be the larger bird - I rightly or wrongly assume this to be the male.
