Try and find that info on FB.
I am lucky that Gilbert lives under cover, As does my 80inch project Rossco. Once done I plan to build up a S2 swb with a 2 1/4 Diesel motor.
The S2 being a more 'bush basher' type vehicle, which can be used a bit more seriously 4x4ing without the worry of bending or breaking something.
Which is a worry with Gilbert, which is my daily driver.

I have 5 under cover and just Wallit outside, oh and my daily driver & the wifes car also sit outside....

I'm not on Facebook but one of my boys often tells me if something comes up. Problem is the information is there and then gone as there seems no way to 'file' it whereas a forum like this is much more useful.
I'm on LinkedIn which is more for business but is becoming like Facebook for Engineers. Constant approaches by recruitment companies but useful if you're in Sales as you can find contact names within companies.

Nearly.....

Seems the eggs didn't hatch this year so they've abandoned the nest. One of the parents did seem very young.
Too high up to investigate but I wonder if they'll re-use the nest if there are eggs left in it.

Colin

Awww. Bugger. Maybe next year then[emoji106][emoji106]

What is using the nest Colin ?

It's a Tawny Frogmouth nest, two broods per year normally but this time they've abandoned the nest after sitting on eggs for months.

Colin

We had 6 in Tawny's care recently.
Two released a couple of weeks ago. Two older ones will be released, this week. Two younger ones in a couple of weeks.
Had 12 in care this year, all younger ones, probably fledgling's.
Joys of living with a wildlife carer.

In age order. Just happen to land that way.

We rescued one a few years back that was blown out of the nest, well I say nest, it's really just a few sticks.
Another one I had to get an extension ladder and put it back up in a tree. It was close to the other sibling and the parents looked after it and it survived.

I've posted a few pictures over the years but thanks to Photobucket most are gone.

Colin

Was informed last night that two in the Rehab cage are Marble Frogmouths.
Lot darker and a different call. Only had one in care before.
Not sure if you have seen them down your way Colin ?
