The Eastern Clapper Lark is a medium-sized lark found in open grasslands of eastern Southern Africa, named for the clapping sound it makes with its wings during display flights.
Where to spot
Open grasslands and savannas in eastern Southern Africa (e.g., South Africa, Eswatini, Mozambique).
How to spot
Listen for the rapid 'clapping' sound produced during its aerial display flight. Look for a bird ascending high and performing this display.
When to spot
Observable year-round, but the distinctive wing-clapping display is most common during the breeding season (spring/summer).
During its display flight, this lark rapidly claps its wings together above its back, producing a distinct 'clapping' sound that is a key identification feature.
