Agulhas long-billed lark : ウィキペディア英語版 | Agulhas long-billed lark
The Agulhas long-billed lark (''Certhilauda brevirostris'') is a small passerine bird. It is an endemic resident breeder in the Western Cape, South Africa. Its restricted range is centred on the Agulhas arable farmlands, from east of the Hottentots-Holland mountain range to Mossel Bay, and occupies a maximum of 15,000 km². This lark was formerly considered as a subspecies of Cape long-billed lark, ''Certhilauda curvirostris'' until it, with three other subspecies, was elevated to species status (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993). ==Habitat and breeding== The natural habitat of Agulhas long-billed lark is uncertain, since most of its range has been converted into stony wheatfields and pasture land, only 30% remaining as coastal fynbos or karoo scrub. It is endemic to South Africa. However, it appears to have adapted quite well to its modified habitats, like farmlands, although its distribution is patchy for unknown reasons. At present, very little is known about its ecology and breeding requirements. Like other larks, it nests on the ground. Its food is seeds and insects, the latter especially in the breeding season.
