Pink-breasted Lark

Mirafra pulpa

The Pink-breasted Lark (Mirafra pulpa) is a small, ground-dwelling bird found in the grasslands and savannas of southern Africa. It is characterized by its pinkish breast and belly, with a streaked brown back and wings. The Pink-breasted Lark is known for its melodious song, often heard during the breeding season as males perform display flights. These larks forage for seeds and insects on the ground, using their strong legs and bill to probe the soil. They are generally solitary or found in small groups. While their populations are currently stable, habitat loss and degradation pose potential threats to their future survival.

Habitat: Grasslands and savannas
