Eurasian Skylark.
Scientific name: Alauda arvensis.
Known for its beautiful song, the Eurasian skylark will fly up to 100m and then perform a slow, spiral descent whilst singing a complex range of songs, only quietening once it is within 10-20m of the ground. On the ground, they may continue to sing but more quietly. They will spend quite a lot of time on the ground, nesting and feeding, and being well-hidden amongst grasses found on sand dunes. Their nest is built by forming a depression in the ground which the female will line with stems, leaves and hair. Info: Dynamic Dunescapes.
