Watercolor painting of bird alphabet - N is for Skylark Alauda arvensis

Bird Alphabet N is for Skylark Alauda arvensis

Skylark Alauda arvensis Birds - brown-speckled European lark noted for singing while hovering at a great height. They are birds of open farmland and heath. They are known throughout their range for the song of the male birds, which is delivered in hovering flight from heights of 50 to 100 meters, when a bird itself may be appear to be just a dot in the sky from the ground. The song generally lasts 2 to 3 minutes, but it tends to last longer later in the season. The males have broader wings than the females. This adaptation for more efficient hovering flight has probably evolved owing to female birds' preference for males that hover and sing for longer periods - probably as an indicator of overall fitness.

Like most other larks, the Skylark is a rather dull-looking species on the ground being mainly brown above and paler below. They have a short blunt crest on their heads, which can be raised or lowered. In flight they show a short tail and short broad wings. The tail and the rear edge of the wings are edged with white, which are visible when they are flying away, but not if they are flying towards the observer. They spend a lot of time on the ground looking for food and they have sturdy legs. They feed on seeds supplemented with insects in the breeding season.

The skylark makes a grass nest on the ground. Generally the nests are very difficult to find, hidden between foliage. 3 to 6 eggs are laid in June. A second or third brood may be started later in the year. The eggs are yellow/white with brownish/purple spots mainly at the large end.
