Description
This tawny frogmouth family were perched in a tree above the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia. I found them as I wandered off the beaten track at Yarra Flats Park. Only when I got home and looked at the image on a larger screen did I realise that I was looking at three birds, two adults with a younger bird in the middle. In the field, I thought it was two birds, with one of them having spread its wings in a weird way. The bird on the right still looks somewhat weird to me, I must say.

Thanks Louise. You're right, I was lucky. I was really pleased that I spotted them. As to the young one, I'm just about to put up another shot to show that it has the pose.
