Female Madagascar magpie-robin sleeping in Kirindi forest
It was in Madagascar that for the first time in our lives we saw birds sleeping at night, completely ignoring that presence. Before that we didn't even think of how birds slept. Since then we saw many, here's one more in the Kirindi forest during our 2nd night walk.

The Madagascar Magpie-Robin is a species of bird in the Muscicapidae family. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
