The Pale Crag Martin is a small, pale brown swallow found in arid and semi-arid regions of North Africa and the Middle East. It is closely associated with rocky cliffs and structures.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid areas, mountains, rocky gorges, and increasingly urban environments (buildings, bridges) across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of the Arabian Peninsula.
How to spot
Look for its uniform pale brown plumage, often appearing paler than other crag martins, and small white spots on the undertail, visible in flight. Observe its gliding flight near cliffs or structures.
When to spot
Year-round resident in much of its range. Active during daylight hours.
