It is SO GOOD to have Tom Scott back making videos. No clickbait or hype, just sincere curiosity about people with interesting jobs and hobbies.

As I knew would happen it seems the last of the nesting Tawny Frogmouth families I’ve been watching has left the tree they’ve called home while their kids were young and migrated elsewhere in the area. It’s bittersweet. I’m a little sad that I won’t be able to reliably go see them but I know the move is good for them and that perhaps I will have the delight of stumbling across them as I wander around the neighbourhood. I will be doing lots of looking up as I walk among the trees. Today I came across this young one, who I’m guessing is one of the ones who hatched earlier in the season

The youngest of the neighbourhood Tawny Frogmouth chicks made the momentous step of moving from the nest to a new branch in the last few days but the parents are still sticking close. Tawnys pair up for life and are devoted parents who take turns looking after the kids. The one not on childcare duty will usually be out hunting or resting on a nearby branch

In some of these you can sort of see one of the Tawny Frogmouth’s special talents. Often when they’re sleeping or wish to be inconspicuous they hang out in a tree with bark that looks like their feathers and stretch themselves out to look like a broken branch. When their eyes are closed it can be very convincing!

2025-12-11T01:33:05Z

Truly wild, sad times in the #Eurovision community in the last few weeks. An update for those of you who are into Eurovision but only pay attention during contest week.

There’s been a lot of anger for a while that the organisers let Israel participate given their human rights abuses and their vast contest related misconduct (vote manipulation, leveraging the contest for propaganda, backstage bullying ect) Last week the organisers took some ethically problematic steps to silence other participants and protect Israel’s continued participation.

The justified rage about it has been the breaking point for many and the following has happened in the last week.
- 5 countries have withdrawn in protest, at least one more seems very likely. Withdrawals for non-financial reasons have previously been very rare.
- A bunch of popular previous competitors are encouraging a boycott.
- A bunch of major long running Eurovision related websites and podcasts run by super passionate fans (including ones creators were partially relying on for their livelihoods) have shut down in protest or have dedicated their coverage to highlighting the wrongs of the contest’s organisers.
- There was an in person protest about it in Melbourne and I think other cities.

As someone who has been following the contest since 2012 and made a lot of friends though it it’s devastating to see the organisers betray the community’s values and destroy the beautiful celebration of creativity and appreciating other cultures it was. I’m proud of all the people connected to the contest making principled stands, some at great personal costs. I don’t know where Eurovision goes from here, I hope it isn’t too damaged to save.

Came across this striking art piece in Bourke St Mall, #melbourne called Paid Attention by Huei Yin Wong. It’s designed to comment on the way the advertising industry profits from constantly taking our attention at no benefit to us. If you sit making unbroken eye contact with the messages about our attention choices on the screen, it pays out the equivalent of minimum wage for the time watched. Sitting there conspicuously staring at something silly in public for even less than 2 minutes was weirdly unsettling even though we’re constantly looking at silly stuff on screens

I was feeling a little sad that the family of Tawny Frogmouths I’ve been watching grow up had moved on from their nest site, even if it wasn’t surprising due to over the fence of a primary school being suboptimal for creatures who sleep during the day. I was just walking in another part of the neighbourhood and spotted a Tawny. Could be one of my friends, but they look like they’re nesting so could also be a new family with a late group of babies which would be delightful.

This is my first time spotting a Tawny in a new location without any assistance (up high and in low light no less). That feels like a major milestone towards being a skilled birder!

Got a fright when I arrived at the local Tawny Frogmouth nest to find no one there. Thankfully all was well and it was just that the parents had decided there wasn’t enough room in the nest and everyone needed their own branch. I’m surprised it lasted this long given tawnys build very half-arsed nests.

Also got to hear their adorable call which I don’t usually. It’s sort of a hoot but sounds more like a phone on vibrate

I once loaned a friend my copy of “How to talk about books you haven’t read” before I’d had the chance to read it. They subsequently moved out of town and lost touch. They took years to return it which seemed ironic for that particular book

Nice little initiative in #melbourne - places for people to leave Container Deposit Scheme eligible containers so that people in need searching for containers to make a little cash from don’t have to rummage through bins

Delighted Tawny Frogmouths won Australian Bird of the Year. I consider them one of Australia’s most underrated creatures. They are truly delightful! What’s not to love about a creature that looks like a muppet made out of dryer lint that disguises itself as tree branches? I will go try find my local ones this evening to tell them the good news. Here’s some pics of tawnys I’ve had the privledge of meeting before

Birdwatching pro-tip: for a simpler birding experience pick as your favourite bird something loud and conspicuous, not something that quietly disguises itself as a tree branch like Tawny Frogmouths.
