Disguise: Birds turn into stems in a split second

The 55-year-old photographer Frederic Consejo is from Belize, a country in Central America who was surprised to see the skillful "magic" of the potoo bird . In a split second, he immersed himself in the tree to deceive all "spectators."

While walking around a friend's garden, Frederic thought that it was just a truncated tree trunk. But when you look closely, he realizes that this is a potoo bird that is very cleverly disguised.

The potoo bird camouflaged the trunk

Potoo birds mainly live in the northern half of South Africa. These birds work at night, they often park motionless on tree branches or stumps to camouflage hunting. Brown-colored fur helps them "disguise" themselves quite well. Their food is mainly insects.

If you do not observe carefully, it is very difficult to recognize this bird

Frederic Consejo spent two hours capturing pictures of this bird because they were very shy. " I've always wanted to photograph these birds for years. But it's hard to spot them . "

The bird even fooled the photographer.
