The Red Dune Lark is a striking, rufous-colored lark endemic to the red dune fields of the Northern Cape province of South Africa and southern Namibia. Its plumage is perfectly adapted to its habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the specific red dune fields of the Northern Cape, South Africa, and adjacent southern Namibia.
How to spot
Search specifically in red dune environments. Its coloration makes it incredibly difficult to spot, so patience and listening for its song (often from the ground or a low dune crest) are essential.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day.

Its intense brick-red plumage is a prime example of cryptic coloration, allowing it to disappear against the iconic red sands of its desert home.
