I clicked this 3 days ago at Nairobi National Park. Any leads as to what species of lark this might be? Looks deceptively like pictures of the Archer's/Sidomo Lark but is obviously not, since those haven't been seen in a long time and never outside of Ethiopia as I understand.

What kind of Lark? (1 Viewer)

If you hover your cursor over the thread title you should see the first few sentences, which in this case includes the location. You could therefore have figured out the location without actually opening the post.
If it's a very localised species, and the species name is in the title, OK (maybe).
But if it's a genus or a family, then the location is essential for the ID often, but anyway for some of us deciding whether it's worth opening (because we might know about things in one area, but not another). 'Lark' is not a species, or a genus with just a few entries.
Why should I have to 'hover'? Anyway, how do I know whether the OP has put this information in his/her first sentence?
Bird Forum has rules, or at least advice, about this, and it's sensible and has a purpose. If people follow these rules, then we can glance through the titles quickly and see where we might be able to help, and where not.
a. So that you don't have to open threads that aren't relevant to you, which is what you were complaining about in the first place.
b. By hovering over the thread title before opening it.
Hope that helps. Also, for someone complaining that you only have limited time on the forum, maybe you should spend less time on the forum complaining about others.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
My apologies. Back on the forum after a long interlude - didn't quite remember the rules..

A long time ago when i was a child. My mother used to buy me a magazine called.
Look and Learn.
I'm sure it was fascinating, and?

The GUIDLINES ask for the country to be mentioned either in the title or the first sentence. as Andrew points out, by moving you cursor minimally lower, you can read the first line.
As far as I can see it, ShoibalM has done no wrong and posted with the GUIDLINES.
