Spotted
The Short-clawed Lark is a robust, terrestrial lark found in the dry grasslands and savannas of Southern Africa. It is known for its strong legs and relatively short hind claw.
Where to spot
Found in dry grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands in Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
How to spot
Look for it walking or running on open ground. Its streaky brown plumage provides good camouflage, so listen for its melodious song, often delivered from a low perch or in flight.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day.

Despite its name, its claws are still quite robust, suited for walking and scratching on the ground rather than climbing.
