Skylark??

Sorry no photos as it was a quick sighting from the car on the way home.

I could hear singing as we drove slowly over a narrow bridge, but it didn't sound the normal bird song I hear. I then spotted a bird hovering and I am certain the song was coming from it.

Its by a rail line, with nearly all fields.

how likely is it that it was a skylark

good chance vixen, but if you had stopped the car you would have known for sure as it descended they carry on singing but slowly peter out if you know what i mean. rossy.

Sadly Rosie I wasn't driving, I dout I would have noticed it if I was.

Am I right in thinking these are the only birds that sing on the wing.
