Desert Lark

Ammomanes deserti (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1823)

Alaudidae — Larks

Desert Lark, Ammomanes deserti, is a passerine lark of arid country across Africa and the Palearctic, breeding from Morocco to western India. It is a resident bird of broken, stony ground and avoids level sand, so it is found where the terrain has some vertical relief. The species is widespread and is increasing slowly as its range grows. It has also been placed in Alauda, and the names desert finch lark and sand lark have been used for it. Twenty-two subspecies are recognised, including forms from North Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.
