Crested Lark

Crested Lark

The crested skylark differs from the skylark in size and appearance (a noticeable crest). All skylarks have crests. Measuring 6.5 inches the crested lark has mottled brown and black plumage with white underparts. Like the skylark, the crested lark has a rather ordinary appearance, coupled by extraordinary singing abilities. The members of the skylark family are one of the few birds which sing throughout the year. The crested lark is found in parts of Europe, India, Arabia and North Africa. [BM] {FW}
