The researchers are from the University of Konstanz in Germany. They looked into the question. "What makes a [grate / great] bird photo?" They tried to find the most 'instagrammable' bird. They [discovery / discovered] that the frogmouth is our favourite. This is a [nocturnal / nocturne] bird that is found from India, across Southeast Asia to Australia.

The researchers analysed [nears / nearly] 30,000 bird photos from nine [popularity / popular] bird photography Instagram accounts. They created a special computer algorithm to [fund / find] which photos [attracted / attractive] the most "likes" on the photo-sharing [stage / platform] . Ornithologist Tim Snyder suggested the frogmouth was the most liked bird [because / due] of its large eyes and wide beak.
