Spotted
The Lark-like Bunting is a unique African bunting with a relatively plain, streaky plumage and a habit of rising high into the air to sing, similar to a lark.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions of Southern Africa, including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Angola. Inhabits dry grasslands, stony plains, and semi-desert.
How to spot
Scan open, dry landscapes. Listen for its distinctive song delivered during an ascending flight. Look for its plain, streaky brown plumage on the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and conspicuous during the breeding season (October-April) when males perform their flight displays.

Its 'lark-like' aerial display flight and song are adaptations to its open, arid grassland and semi-desert habitats, where there are few high perches.
