User's notes
The adult Tawny Frogmouth with two young at ANBG as covered by previous sighting 4716479. The young birds have now moved out of the nest and onto adjacent branches as seen in the first image, with a wary adult keeping an eye on them. We still haven't located the second adult which is most likely close by in an adjacent tree. (See follow-up sighting 4717450 for details of the second adult).
