A very belated congrats on your century, well done! A great collection of many beautiful  - and sometimes weird (in a Frogmouthy good way) - birds, really enjoyed playing catch-up with this thread. :)

Some great Qld additions, jealous of your yellow billed kingfisher

An even later congrats on the ton. I have been away from the web quite a bit of late.

Herman and I really liked Herdsman Lake, so much so we spent a second day there, and found a family of three tawny frogmouths.

@kitsafari I was amazed at the number of birds in this popular urban wetland. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the space too - joggers, dog-walkers and mums and babies all out an about. I thought you might recognise the frogmouths!
