A pair of Tawny Frogmouts we spotted sleeping in our Tree Fern. They stretched their bodies out to camouflage themselves
Each year, the Eastern Rosellas return to nest. This year (2008) we placed the nest box in a different tree and the pair had no hesistation in occupying the box. The female is inspecting the nest box here.

These little green frogs live by our pond and are a delight to watch
