Tawny Frog Mouth poisonedmpicklesSun, 23/12/2012 - 5:10pm

Last week my grandsons found a Tawny Frogmouth dead in our yard. The bird had been hunting around Water St and the Cove for a few years and would roost in our yard, it met an untimely death. We also found evidence of a regurgitated small mammal probably a marsupial mouse that had taken a rat/mouse bait next to the dead bird. One can presume that this was the cause of death.

Hi Everyone,

 I am just writing to say that we too enjoyed the sightings of the Tawny Frogmouth and took the photo’s over a period. It was a beautiful animal and I was sad to hear of its death.

 I support the advice posted and urge everyone to be very careful and mindful of the wildlife in our environment when using poisons.
