Where to spot
Grasslands, agricultural fields (especially cereal crops), heathlands, and open country across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
How to spot
Listen intently for their characteristic call, particularly in tall grass or crops. Spotting them is challenging due to their small size and secretive nature; they prefer to run and hide rather than fly when disturbed.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) when males are most vocal. They are most active at dawn and dusk.
