Rufous-naped Lark (Mirafra Africana)
The Rufous-naped Lark’s head is coloured brown as well as the bill. The Mirafra Africana has a white coloured throat, pink legs and a brown coloured back. The eyes are brown.
The male Mirafra africana has physical features that are slightly different from the female bird. When the bird is excited it has a richly striped rufous crown. In most observatory incidence the bird tends to call from a raised platform or rather on top of a medium sized tree.
In Kenya, the bird is widely distributed in areas around central Kenya, Lake Naivasha, Maasai Mara and Amboseli National park.
I recently spotted this Rufous-naped lark in the Maasai Mara National Reserve and recorded it’s song.

I loved hearing the Rufous-naped lark’s song, such clear beauty! Whether birds are singing or chattering at each other, what a stunning sound to bestow when all surroundings are quiet. I could listen and watch birds all day long. 🙂
Thank you! It is a beautiful song. I was lucky to catch it as I was driving through the Maasai Mara National Reserve. I could listen to the birds sing all day long as well!!
