The Oriental Skylark (Alauda gulgula), also known as the Oriental Lark or Small Skylark, is a species of skylark found in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Like other skylarks, it is found in open grassland - often near waterbodies - where it feeds on seeds and insects.
These skylarks frequently rocket up into the sky, fluttering and singing before descending down to earth. Male Oriental Skylarks may also hover in the air and sing, in order to attract a mate.
Oriental Skylarks are about 16 cm long. They have streaked, yellow-brown upper plumage, with white outer tail feathers and a short crest. Both sexes are similar.

Just received my "ship when available" brand new Stephenson, Tom "The Warbler Guide, 2013".
I am not in any way connected to this book so this is a totally disinterested comment:
THIS BOOK EXCEEDS MY WILDEST DREAMS AND IS A VERY WORTHY PURCHASE!! I'm in awe.
If anyone wishes some specific feedback feel free to ask.

Incredible number of geese. One thing is the noise, but they have a tendency to shit all over the place to. I hope they stay out of your garden ... :-XDon Haines said:
