Where to spot
Widespread in grasslands, cultivated fields, savannas, and open habitats throughout Southern Africa.
How to spot
Scan open ground for movement. Males are easily identifiable by their red cap. Listen for its characteristic 'chip-chip-cheep' call and its display flight.

Observable year-round. More vocal and conspicuous during the breeding season (spring/summer).
The male's striking red cap is a vibrant and unmistakable field mark, especially prominent during the breeding season.
