The Mountain Pipit is a migratory pipit species found in southern Africa, breeding in high-altitude grasslands and migrating to lower elevations in winter. It is an elusive bird of mountainous terrain.
Where to spot
Breeds in high-altitude grasslands of the Drakensberg Mountains in Lesotho and South Africa. Migrates to lower elevations in South Africa, often in open, grassy areas.
How to spot
Requires hiking to high altitudes during summer. Look for a large, robust pipit foraging on the ground. Its call and flight display are important for identification.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (summer) at high altitudes. In winter, it can be found at lower elevations.
