Rofous-naped Lark
Allodola nucarossiccia
(Mirafra africana)

English:
Kenya: Generally found between 1200-3000m in the more humid areas of the country. Mostly absent from the northern and eastern regions.

A large, stocky lark which shows conspicuous rufous wings in flight. This is a distinctive bird with an upright stance which perches conspicuously giving voice to its repetitive song which consists of a single phrase. There are 3 races M. a. athi, found in the highlands, lacks a rufous nape. M. a. tropicalis (pictured above) is found in the west and has more rufous than the preceding race, the photograph was taken in January 2001 in the Maasai Mara. M. a. hartleri shows still more rufous than tropicalis and is the eastern race.

ITALIANO:
Ne ho viste un sacco! Si mettevo sempre davanti alla macchina e si spostavano all'ultimo secondo.
Io e la Monica le avevamo soprannonimate Common Stupid Bird

Bonsoir Andrea,
Très belle et fine image. Couleurs très harmonieuses. L'oiseau te regarde d'un air sceptique. A-t-il compris tes vilaines pensées?
Bonne soirée
Anne
