Spotted
The African Pipit is a common and widespread ground-dwelling bird found across sub-Saharan Africa. It is a relatively plain pipit, well-camouflaged for its grassy environments.
Where to spot
Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa. Found in open grasslands, savannas, cultivated areas, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Look for its streaky brown plumage and typical pipit behavior: walking and running on the ground, often flicking its tail. Its calls are important for identification, usually a distinctive 'chip-chip.'
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the day, foraging on the ground.
