Flappet Lark: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 \u2014 The Flappet Lark gets its name from the clapping, or flapping sound the male makes with its wings during its energetic display flight in breeding season. Out of breeding season it spends most of its time on the ground foraging\u2026only occasionally getting up higher to sing, and presumably to have a good look around. We caught this one on the cactus bush along one of the game drives in the northern section of Queen Elizabeth National Park. There are 15 recognized sub-species of this little bird, and two of them occur in Uganda, split between a northern sub-species, Abyssinian, and a western sub-species, Rwenzori.
