Blyth's Frogmouth is a small, highly camouflaged nocturnal bird found in Southeast Asia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Javan Frogmouth but is now recognized as a distinct species, known for its intricate plumage patterns.
Where to spot
Found across mainland Southeast Asia, including parts of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Malay Peninsula, inhabiting various types of forest.
How to spot
Locating this species requires persistent searching of dense forest undergrowth and branches during the day. At night, listen for its soft, repetitive 'hoo-hoo' or 'purr' calls. Spotlighting is often the most effective way to find it in the dark.
When to spot
Active at night for hunting insects and other small prey. During the day, it roosts silently and motionlessly, relying entirely on its cryptic appearance.
