Message 8 an 9. Re Swimming Frogmouth
There is also video on my facebook page but i am sorry i dont know how to
add links as the previous person had done with the photo . The bird
deliberately flew out to the middle of the very wide Daintree river, had a
look for crocs and dipped his feet on the water then flew to a different
area but still in the middle and landed. It floated for about 5 minutes
without moving. It did not splash like other birds having a bath as
splashing would attract a crocodile. It seemed to deliberately choose the
middle of the river where it was shallow and could see the bottom but could
not stand. The middle is actually the safest place for a swim as the crocs
are usually on the edge under the trees. An amazing sight that nobody seems
to have seen before.
