The Two-banded Courser is a striking ground-dwelling bird found in southern Africa, characterized by its cryptic sandy-brown plumage and two distinct black breast bands. It prefers arid environments.
Where to spot
Found in southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, inhabiting arid and semi-arid grasslands, sparse savannas, and open plains.
How to spot
Look for it walking or running quickly across open ground, stopping abruptly to peck at insects. Its cryptic plumage makes it hard to spot when still, so look for movement.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its range. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, early morning and late afternoon.

Coursers are known for their fast, low-to-the-ground running style, which helps them catch insects in open, sparse terrain.
