That´s a strange looking branch!

Just metres from the accomodation chalets, there lives a very special bird. It sits on the sloping trunk of a tree, and never moves during the day. This is because its feathers are the same colour as the tree it sits on, and so by not moving, it is very hard to see. The bird is called a potoo. Potoos are related to nightjars. They hunt for insects from a perch during the evening. The photo below shows this potoo with a baby. Notice how they both stick their necks out to impersonate a branch...
