The Cinnabar Frogmouth is a small, enigmatic nocturnal bird from Southeast Asia. Its intricate plumage patterns, often with rufous or 'cinnabar' tones, provide exceptional camouflage against bark and leaves.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including parts of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and the Philippines, typically inhabiting lowland and hill rainforests.
How to spot
Searching for its roosting spot during the day requires sharp eyes and a methodical approach. At night, listen for its distinctive calls, which are often soft trills, purrs, or 'choo-choo' sounds. A spotlight is useful for night observation.
When to spot
Active at night for foraging. During the day, it roosts inconspicuously on branches, often near the tree trunk, remaining completely still.
