Hi everyone - this is my first posting so I hope it works out. We have had a pair of Tawny Frogmouths in our garden for the past 6 years. Each year they have brought their young to show us. There have been two babies each year except one year there were three. They are just so adorable. Hope you like him.

I don't know what I have done wrong so will try again to post photo of Tawny Frogmouth.
Could someone please help me if this doesn't work

Hi Tawny, it should work all right - I just managed to post one. How were you attaching the photo ?
If you are doing it as a straight file attachment from your hard drive then the file size can't exceed 100Kb else it won't work. The photo may need optimising or otherwise downsized.

If you are posting a link from a photo web host, then be aware that some hosts don't permit hot linking.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Ian
I was posting from my hard drive but the photo was only 70kb but I will try from my album storage as they allow linking. Here goes.
No that didn't work either. I do it all the times on another forum and this is how
<Img src=" html goes here ">
It doesnt work here.
I will try from my hard drive again

I did exactly the same thing but this time it worked. Same file same everything.
Ian could you please tell me how to link from my album as what I did above doesn't work here on this forum. I would prefer to do it that way then I don't have to compress the size.

Hello Tawny, top first post, certainly one of the stranger birds out there.

I think you almost had it but the string was slightly wrong. All you need to do is hit the IMG button in the 'vB Code' line which brings up another box into which you paste/type our link.

It worked for me.

Very strange these computers - Tawny's link seems to work now, whereas earlier it said I wasn't allowed to browse that particular server.

Bring back the ZX81 - at least that never crashed!

but it was a bummer when the power lead used to fall out:)

Those Frogmouths are such incredible birds!
I have a book with all Australian birds in there and it surprised me when i saw the pics of those birds. They are some stunning creatures!
Must be nice to have them breeding in your backyard. Are they territorial birds which eat meat and so on? Or do they feed on fruits and other things?

Adios, Erik

[Tawny]

Hi Erik
The Tawnies eat moths, small lizards, frogs etc. At the moment the female is sitting in the tree out the back all day and the male stays with the young in the nest. At night time they change places and the male goes out to hunt. They usually bring their young ones to us towards the end of December.

I think observing such birds must be quite interesting! Do they live throughout whole Australia? I have family in Perth so whenever i might go there i'd love to see those birds!
