Gillett's Lark (Calendulauda gilletti) is a small passerine bird found in the arid savannas and grasslands of eastern Africa. It is characterized by its streaked brown plumage, a short bill, and a distinctive crest. This lark is known for its melodious song, often performed in flight. Gillett's Lark forages on the ground for seeds and insects, using its strong legs to hop and run through the grasses. Due to habitat loss and degradation, this species faces threats to its survival.
