Media notes
Calls of two Dune Larks as they foraged on sparsely vegetated edges to dune field near dry river course (Kuiseb River). Seemed to be contact calls allowing the two individuals to stay in touch as they foraged.
Observation details
Moving along dunes hiding behind small grass tussocks and bushes. Feeding by pecking ground after short rapid runs. Also pecked low vegetation and flew up to perch on low bush. Wonderful views watching one forage for about 15 minutes in shade of dune hillock. Tail darker than in illustrations contrasting with upperpart colour. Occasionally foraged by digging into sand at base of grass on dune hillock
