The Sidamo Lark is an extremely rare bird and is considered to be vulnerable. Its range is restricted to a very few square kilometres of open arid grassland and acacia scrub a few kilometres east of Negele Borena, an area known as the Liben Plains. It is reluctant to fly and will skulk down in the grass and bare earth relying on its plumage for concealment until eventually it will run rapidly away. We found this bird after a couple of long dusty sweeps across the plain, in fact we had already passed and missed the bird when it gave itself away by moving position. Good spot Steven !
