Continuing the saga of the Frogmouth family.
The kids (naturally) tried to fly a bit too early, and ended up on the ground, near the deck. Mummy (or Daddy) sat in a branch just above them for the day. We went the long way around. Very strange noises like a strangled chook from the babies.
Come evening, they all got a bit more mobile, and hopped up on our deck - which we thought was a safer place for them. Parent joined them briefly, and told one of them off, or so it seemed from the juvenile reaction. Photos taken at dusk: ASA 1600, exposure something like 1/4 second, from inside a room with the lights off.

Parents off hunting by now, I would imagine. Possibly both of them, since nesting is no longer needed.
Cheers
