Eurasian skylark size and coloration resembles that of a Crested Lark. However, it does not have such a large headdress as a Crested lark. Eurasian skylark also like open field spaces of meadows. Lark can also be spotted “hanging” over the field, where it observes the area while singing beautifully. Its flight in suspension above the ground is most likely caused by the fact that it comes from the steppe where were no trees from which it could watch the surrounding. Larks build nests on the ground in rural areas and, unfortunately, it helps to decrease this bird's population. And from farmers point of view, its very useful as he feeds on all kinds of insects and crop pests. Its size exceeds Sparrow's a little bit and his wingspan is around 30 centimeters.

It is probably the most numerous population of the bird in Poland, and despite the passage of years I haven't managed to take good enough pictures to give the Eurasian skylark’s gallery the status of a very good one. Nevertheless I added some photos, so far probably the best ones of Eurasian skylark.
