Hi Andrew
 
We recently had a Tawny Frogmouth roosting on a log in front of the Broome Bird Observatory office which was about 10cm off the ground. The next day he was around 1 metre off the ground at a nearby site and was frequently found roosting within 1.5 metres from the ground on several occassions since.
