Bimaculated Lark

Bimaculated Lark is a large lark normally eastwards from Turkey to Central Asia and can be easily identified in its range. Sometimes these species of birds can be found gathered in 100s if not 1000s.

Bimaculated Lark is an Indian tick for me during the GIBT 2017 – NE trip as I have seen them quite a number of times from Middle East where they are comparatively common. We found them in large flocks while we were in Desert National Park.
