I know of one pair (I'm assuming it's the same birds, may not be of
course)that have nested in the same tree in a suburban garden in
Melbourne (Rosanna)for four consecutive years.

Do Tawny Frogmouths usually - or prefer to - nest in the same tree year
after year ?

The indications from our Bayside records are that the answer is 'no'.
But
that may be because (1) I don't have much to go on, and (2) disturbance
or
changes in the tree (eg. a failing canopy).

I know of some highly favoured roost trees - but I'd really like to know

about data on nests.
