Nick Heide, Frogmouth Family of Four (Wildlife and Animal 2017)

I've recently had the absolute pleasure of being able to photograph a beautiful pair of Tawny Frogmouths raise two adorable chicks, from eggs to fledged and flying mini fluffy versions of their parents. These birds have a very tight family bond, and both parents contribute to the care of eggs and chicks.
