Spring is in the air and this Tawny Frog Mouth family sit perched upon a Bottle Brush as the sun sets.
This family almost lost their young one when it fell from the tree and was found some meters away helpless. Ben, a thoughtful passerby, called W.I.R.E.S and I accompanied them out to the initial rescue. Luckily its parents were spotted, as they are highly camouflaged, and it was placed back into the tree.
Three days later I returned to check on its progress and took these photos. Happily the young fledgling was doing much better, under the care of it’s parents.

Heather - Mom and Dad are feeding Junior up well, he’s the same size with a fluffier coat. Hasn’t managed the Raptor eyes quite yet.
di quick - I adore those tawny frogmouths!
