At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking these are photos of leaves. But if you look closely, you may be able to spot the hidden bird in the image.

These animals rely on their incredible abilities to camouflage to their surroundings to escape the notice of their predators. In fact, these birds will adjust their nest position to find an environment that best matches their particular patterns and colours.

Nightjars are one of the best birds in the world at hiding from predators
