Consigli sul campo

  1. Listen for the song. The best way to find a Skylark is to listen for its unmistakable song-flight. Once you hear it, scan the sky directly above for the tiny, hovering speck.
  2. Scan open fields. Walk slowly through suitable habitats, scanning the ground ahead. Skylarks are very well camouflaged and often only flush when approached closely.
  3. Look for movement. On the ground, look for subtle movements in the grass. They often run rather than hop.
  4. Observe flushed birds. If a bird flushes from your feet, note its flight pattern (undulating) and the white outer tail feathers as it flies away.
  5. Best time. Early morning and late afternoon during the breeding season are often the best times to hear their song-flights.

Migrazione

Northern and eastern populations are migratory, moving south and west for winter. Southern and western populations are largely resident or undertake short-distance movements. Migratory flights occur during the day.
