Re: Bird of the day!

Hi Gill
Yes they are Woodlarks. (not that that takes anything away from the lovely Skylark).
We are fortunate to have resident Woodlarks in Clumber Park, Sherwood Forest, and on the Budby Common (all quite near to each other), and in late winter/early spring they are a delight to hear and see. The song also travels some distance when they are on the wing, so can be heard well before you reach their territory.
