The Striated Bunting is a medium-sized bunting found across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. It is characterized by heavy streaking on its head and body.
Where to spot
Widespread from North Africa east through the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of India. Inhabits arid and semi-arid stony hillsides, wadis, and sparse scrubland.
How to spot
Look for it on the ground or perched on rocks in dry, stony areas. The heavy streaking on its head and back is a key identification feature. Listen for its short, musical song.
When to spot
Resident year-round in much of its range. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (spring to early summer).

This bunting's streaky plumage provides excellent camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the barren, rocky environments it inhabits.
