On 21 October 2024, a second Tawny Frogmouth chick was observed at Trin Warren Tam-boore.
On the morning this day, the chicks and a parent posed for the photograph. Rightly or wrongly, the adult seems to exhibit what we humans would consider pride. Looking forward to seeing these chick grow up in the next few weeks.

This tiny Tawny Frogmouth chick was spotted at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boore on 21 October 2024. When I first walked past the nest, I though that the Tawny Frogmouth was still incubating the eggs. The second time I walked past the nest, I spotted a fluffy fur ball. Then this disheveled looking chick raised it head to have a look at me.
I have been told that the Tawny Frogmouth chick grows really quickly. I will have to make a point to visit Trin often to check its progress.

This photograph of a Tawny Frogmouth was taken on 3 July 2024 at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boore. Tawny Frogmouths can be spotted frequently at the park. I spotted this one 2 days before and it was still at the same perch when the picture was taken. The Frogmouth had a couple of other perches prior this this one.
