This mind-bender puzzle features dozens of the brightly-coloured birds against a green background but the figure hidden among them is deceptively difficult to spot.

Internet users are claiming to spend anything from 30 seconds to five minutes trying to locate the dancer, who is well hidden due to her bright pink dress.
