I was outside getting some lemons for M’s current favourite dinner of choice. I had the torch (because it’s getting dark here at about 5.30pm) and was perusing the tree (note to self: tell the story of the freak lemons). From another tree nearby I could hear some kind of slapping sounds, and I shone the torch over and lit up a very interesting scene! A Tawny Frogmouth was beating a frog to death on the branch of the tree. Well, that might sound a bit dramatic. By the time I realised what I was looking at, I’m pretty sure the frog had well and truly carked it. They are an impressive looking bird - it didn’t care that I was unintentionally standing very close to it, and it still didn’t care when I brought M out and showed him. Obviously it was concentrating on the prospect of dinner. I didn’t see it’s partner - they mate for life. Very sweet.
