The Tawny frogmouths that were in the trees in my back yard disappeared for a few months, but now they are back, but during the night...

they like sitting on the old swing set frame making a barking noise.

anyone have advise on how best to photograph them under these conditions?

I have my 80-200 f2.8, or my 150-600 f5-6.3 which while longer than the 80-200 is much slower... I'm thinking my faster 50mm f1.8 will be too wide to be much use.

When they arrive, there is still some twilight left.

Would rather not blind them with a flash if possible....

do I have any hope of getting them at this time?

Regards
John
