The Solomons Frogmouth is a medium-sized, highly cryptic nocturnal bird endemic to the Solomon Islands. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Marbled Frogmouth but is now recognized as a distinct species.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Solomon Islands, found in primary and secondary lowland forests and dense growth on various islands within the archipelago.
How to spot
Locating this species requires specific knowledge of its local habitats and patient searching. Listen for its calls at night, which are distinct from those of the Marbled Frogmouth. Spotlighting dense forest areas might reveal its presence.
When to spot
Like other frogmouths, it is active at night, primarily at dusk and dawn. It spends its days roosting motionless, relying on its excellent camouflage.
