Dry leaf or a bird. Sri Lanka Frogmouth
I have only seen these frogmouth as pairs and in Thattekad. Despite knowing where they are, I would struggle to find them again. They sit in trees with clumps of dried leaf, blending in so well its hard to spot them. Sometimes, I have lost them whilst adjusting my camera, though they have not moved an inch. Brilliant camouflage.
