Skylarks

These inconspicuous brown birds sound much more impressive than they may first look!  In the breeding season, skylarks perform a spectacular display, soaring straight up in the air while singing a beautiful, trilling song, before folding their wings and plummeting back down to the ground.

Some skylarks make shallow nests on the ground in hay meadows while other skylarks can be found nesting on grassy moorland.
