unusual facts about Erlanger's Lark


Erlanger's Lark

The name of this bird commemorates the German ornithologist Carlo von Erlanger.

Archer's Lark

The grasses in their habitat, which they need to survive are being destroyed by the Parthenium hysterophorus weed.

An example of a weed that has especially killed off the original habitat is the Parthenium Weed.

Ash's Lark

In order to give a complete, definitive description it must also be added that it is smaller than either the Rufous-naped Lark (M. africana), or the Red-winged Lark (M. hypermetra); that it is more greyish and marked on its mantle than either the Singing Lark (M. cantillans), or the Pink-breasted Lark (M. poecilosterna); and that its bill is not as thick as the former, and that it lacks the pinkish breast of the latter.

But even here, where it is locally common it is easily overlooked because it is also a home to nine other species of lark, such as the Red-winged Lark (M. hypermetra hypermetra) and the Somali Long-billed Lark (M. somalica rochei).
