Lark-like Bunting

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Lark-like Bunting at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Rocherpan Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park and Marloth Nature Reserve and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Lark-like Bunting is most recorded in Northern Cape (54% of records), Western Cape (35% of records), Eastern Cape (6% of records), based on 634 iNaturalist observations. 38 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Lark-like Bunting on site or nearby.

The Lark-like Bunting is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Rocherpan Nature Reserve: Winter and spring for birds and flowers, Jun-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The lark-like bunting (Emberiza impetuani) is a species of bird in the family Emberizidae, which is native to southern Africa.
