Ceylon Frogmouth

Sri Lankan Frogmouth (Batrachostomus moniliger) is a nocturnal bird with brilliant camouflage. Look at the dried leaf in the background. Frogmouths blend brilliantly with the surrounding of its day roosting perch, and roost everyday at the same location.

 

This is the female of the species.
