Spotted
The Bar-tailed Lark is a pale, ground-dwelling lark of arid and semi-arid regions, characterized by a dark band across its tail. It is a master of camouflage in sandy environments.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid plains, sandy deserts, and stony wadis across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.
How to spot
Scan open, barren ground for movement. Its pale plumage blends in perfectly. Look for its tail band in flight or when the tail is fanned. Listen for its clear, melodious song.
When to spot
Observable year-round, most active during the cooler parts of the day.

The dark subterminal band on its tail, often visible in flight, is a distinctive feature that helps differentiate it from other desert larks.
