Skylark (Alauda arvensis)

A ground-nesting bird, the skylark population in Richmond Park is under threat from increasing visitor numbers and dogs not kept under control. Notices are in place in skylark nesting areas requiring visitors to stay on the paths, and dog owners to keep dogs on short leads, during the nesting season (March – September).
