The Somali Sparrow is a small passerine bird native to the Horn of Africa, characterized by its relatively uniform brown plumage. It is often found in arid savannas and acacia woodlands.
Where to spot
Horn of Africa, including Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and parts of Eritrea and Kenya. Inhabits dry acacia savanna, scrubland, and semi-desert.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground in dry, open habitats. It is often seen in small flocks. Its relatively plain, brownish plumage can make it blend in with its surroundings, so look for movement.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler.
