Short Description:

Bimaculated Lark (Melanocorypha bimaculata) is a species of lark found in Pakistan. It is characterized by its distinctive plumage featuring dark markings on its chest and throat, which distinguish it from other lark species. Typically, it inhabits open grasslands and agricultural fields, where it forages for seeds and insects.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Bimaculated Lark is primarily found in the western and northern regions, including Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan provinces. It prefers habitats with sparse vegetation and is often spotted in open plains, semi-deserts, and cultivated fields.

This lark species is known for its melodious song, often heard during the breeding season. It is a ground-dwelling bird, spending much of its time foraging on the ground for seeds, grains, and small invertebrates. During the breeding season, males engage in territorial displays, singing from elevated perches to attract mates. Outside of the breeding season, Bimaculated Larks may gather in small flocks for feeding and roosting.
