About These Birds

Agulhas Long-billed Lark

The Agulhas Long-billed Lark is a lark of the Alaudidae family, weighing about 43 g, restricted to the Agulhas Plain at the southern tip of South Africa. It favours low coastal scrubland and fynbos, where it uses its curved bill to probe the soil for invertebrates.

Black-eared Sparrow-lark

The Black-eared Sparrow-lark is a small, sexually dimorphic lark; males display striking black-and-white patterning on the face and breast while females are more subdued brown-streaked. It inhabits arid scrublands, dry grasslands, and Karoo vegetation of southern Africa, particularly Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. It forages on the ground for seeds and insects, often gathering in flocks outside the breeding season.
