Skylark - Alauda Arvensis
Skylarks are characteristic of semi-natural grassland systems from sand dunes through heathland to marginal upland, but are most common in arable farmland, making use of the nesting cover and bare ground for feeding that crops themselves provide throughout the year. Males are highly territorial, using long song flights at high altitude to broadcast to rivals and potential mates because the open landscapes they prefer are devoid of high perches. The stamina required to sustain long song flights has led to song flight length being used as an “honest signal” of male quality by females, allowing male Skylarks to advertise themselves without bright plumage, so they have kept the cryptic, brown and streaked coloration that affords them protection from predators on the ground.
Although migratory in much of northern Europe, British breeding Skylarks are believed not to move far between seasons, although upland birds move to lower latitudes. They can then often begin to breed in March and continue into July, making up to three breeding attempts. In winter, they mostly use crop stubble and fallow fields, in which they forage for weed seed and spilled grain, often in large flocks. Throughout the year, the Skylark’s heritage as a steppe species is apparent in its avoidance of vertical structures, which restricts the suitability of farmland with a high density of hedgerows.

The theme of Macro Mondays for this week is Redux. I chose the curves theme and have cropped this one quite a bit. Color processing always feels challenging and this one was no exception. I hope this brightens your day and serves as reminder that we all have challenges that we need to work on overcoming.

The Milky Way over the fading light after sunset and crops near Blyth, South Australia. Taken during astro twilight, Sigma lens, processed in Lightroom Classic with daylight white balance for colour in the stars.
A line between crops in the field across from our house. Corn on the top and Field Mustard on the bottom.
Watching this magnificent owl hunting from atop a power pole I had the camera in a portrait orientation to try and catch it as it flew to the ground. Instead it flew across the road and right over my vehicle. A horizontal crop from vertical.
Out for a drive and this beautiful cloud was raining on the canola crop. It is so nice to see some rain to help our crops grow. Saskatchewan prairie, Canada.
Thank you for viewing my sky art photography.

Kereru feather crop to help appreciate the amazing colours. I can hear KB asking "where do they get all the gold?" although in this case it would be where did they get all the thing that makes them shimmer like this?
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
I like this almost architectural feel to this crop, and most car people would identify this as Packard from the Radiator Shell shape alone. This model used rather small headlights compared to many at the time, but they still look good. The reflections provided lots of interesting intense colors. This horizontal image will appear much bigger on Flickr.
