[Skylarks

[Joe Barr <>]

Apologies for the delay replying, Julienne  - my mail box was blocked for a 
while.
Benj and Phillip have covered all the points . As they say, it is difficult 
to separate them by appearance in the field so call and behaviour seem to 
be a better guide. I have rarely seen the skylark's crest. Last Thursday I 
was surprised to find three Skylarks soaring and singing - very unseasonal 
behaviour for the grasslands around Dunlop at least. Two were flying in 
close proximity with the third some distance away and I wondered if there 
were some territorial claims being staked. The Pipit was hopping on and off 
the fence as usual.
