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.
Thanks to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc, it is always Appreciated.
The stunning reflection of Bridge 2 on the Shropshire Union Canal in Wolverhampton.
The night after this was taken there was a shooting by this bridge.
Shot near Central Park.These are the actual colors on the structure.I just enhanced them a little.I don't exactly know which street I took this shot,but between 59th and 79th streets there are many old mansions that once were owned by some of NYC elite from the 19th century.Some of them have been converted into embassies and museums.Most of the museums are strewn along 5th Avenue between 82nd and 104th streets in what is known as Museum Mile.

Standing in front of a pretty castle, you have, of course, to take pictures from many different angles - but this is the last one of the series.
This is the manor 'La Saucerie' (in French Manoir de la Saucerie), built by Robert Le Saucier. He was a servant to the queen of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine (when the kings of England also were dukes of Normandy) in the late 12th century.
A medieval motte castle was built on the spot. But in the late 16th century, or early 17th, the top part of the castle was replaced by the wooden structure still seen today, and the place (which was, by then, terribly out of fashion) was turned into something like a gate-house for a proper Renaissance manor, built nearby. The later manor burnt down in 1860, but these medieval parts art still standing.
Clevedon Pier, last of the summer weather. If you look really close mid centre at the bottom of the scene there is a gentleman who obviously loves the sun. My opinion only, just a little too much sun can be dangerous!!!
This arch was designed by Bristol-born artist, John Maine RA.
The self-supported structure, made up of 15 granite blocks weighing seven and a half tonnes each, is eight metres high and 14 metres wide and sits in pride of place on the promenade opposite the Melrose car park, Somerset, Weston-super-Mare. UK.
A too sunny day when sand patterns pulled me into their little world. the previous day's big waves had made some wonderful structures, and these particularly curly lines grabbed my attention. Get in Line is asong by Ron Sexsmith, normally they're much straight than these.
