Dunn's Lark

Calandrella dukhunensis

Dunn's Lark (Calandrella dukhunensis) is a small, ground-dwelling bird found in the deserts and semi-deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. It is characterized by its pale sandy-brown plumage, streaked with darker markings, and a distinctive white supercilium. Dunn's Lark is known for its melodious song, which it delivers while perched on low shrubs or rocks. This species is well-adapted to arid environments and can be found foraging for seeds and insects in sandy or stony habitats. Despite its relatively wide distribution, Dunn's Lark faces threats from habitat degradation and human disturbance.
