Javan Bushlark

Mirafra javanica

The Javan Bushlark (Mirafra javanica) is a small passerine bird native to Java and Bali in Indonesia. It is known for its melodious song, often delivered from a perch or during display flights. This species is typically found in open grasslands, agricultural areas, and scrub habitats. The Javan Bushlark has a distinctive streaked brown plumage with a pale underbelly and a short, straight bill. It forages on the ground for insects and seeds. While the population trend is unknown, the species is currently not considered to be at immediate risk, although habitat loss and agricultural intensification may pose future threats.
