woodlark

Small brown singer

A woodlark is a small European songbird related to the skylark, known for its melodious song delivered in flight or from a perch.

Unlike the skylark, which favors open fields, the woodlark prefers woodland edges and heathland with scattered trees: We heard a woodlark singing from the top of a pine.
