You don't often read the word "instagrammable" in a scientific paper.
But a recently published study that asked "what makes a great bird photo?" has officially deemed the frogmouth the most instagrammable of avians.
The result led the researchers to use another term that I have seldom read in an academic study: "poetic justice". The frogmouth was once designated "the world's most unfortunate-looking bird".
It has now been redeemed by Instagram's millions of animal photography fans.
