The Tawny Frogmouth made a repeat visit again last night, flying in at 9:30 p.m. to again perch on the top of the hills hoist in my yard last night. This time
it waited around to have his/her photo taken. The repeat would probably suggest it is living somewhere locally. Though I have not seen it other than these two times. (The earlier time referred to below, was something like 10 years ago). I don’t think it is
at my local park but then again they are easy to miss and could well spend its time in someone’s yard that I don’t have access to.

At this time of year I would suspect that means there is a nest somewhere within 100m of your clothes line.
