My daughter opened the back door this morning and found this guy right next to her....perched in the shade.
Just had time to grab camera and get a couple of frames before he decided we were being too intrusive and departed.

Quick reactions to get anything Ruth....usually when that happens to me, by the time I get back with camera, they've gone and perched in the most inaccessible spot nearby.
Very nice visitor to have tho!
Great visit to have right at the door

We don't make a photograph just with a camera, we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved. - Ansel Adams
I cheated...I stood very still in the position I wanted and sent daughter to fetch camera so we wouldn't scare him off too quickly. I do wish it was a tad sharper, but when I grabbed camera, I glanced at lens, checked aperture and totally forgot to adjust iso up a bit, so speed was a bit slow for me hand held.
We get a few Tawny Frogmouths around our backyard....usually on the fence or hills hoist at dusk.
Great visitor Ruth.
