Spotted
The Flappet Lark is a widespread lark across Sub-Saharan Africa, named for the distinctive 'flapping' sound produced by its wings during its aerial display flight. It inhabits savannas and grasslands.
Where to spot
Widespread in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands across Sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
The best way to identify this lark is by listening for the mechanical 'flapping' sound it makes during its aerial display. Look for a bird ascending and descending in the sky.
When to spot
Observable year-round, but the distinctive wing-flapping display is most common during the breeding season (wet season).
The unique 'flapping' or 'whirring' sound made by its wings during its territorial display flight is its most characteristic and identifiable feature.
