The Black-crowned Sparrow-lark is a small, compact lark with a distinctive black cap (in males) and pale plumage. It is a common resident of arid and semi-arid regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid plains, sandy and stony deserts, and wadis across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Central and South Asia.
How to spot
Scan open ground for movement. Males are easier to identify. Look for their low, undulating flight or listen for their high-pitched, often trilling song.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day.
