Spotted
A large and distinctive owlet-nightjar found in New Guinea, known for its soft, mottled plumage that provides excellent camouflage in its forest habitat. It is a nocturnal insectivore with large eyes.
Where to spot
Primarily found in montane rainforests and cloud forests of New Guinea, often at higher altitudes.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct calls at night, which can lead to its location. During the day, look for tree hollows or dense undergrowth where it might be roosting, but its camouflage makes it very difficult to spot.
When to spot
Active during the night, especially from dusk to dawn, when it forages for insects. It roosts in tree hollows or dense foliage during the day.
