Sånglärka - Alauda arvensis - Common Skylark
NF Photo 110602 at Marieberg

I loved this. I took those shots from "the comfort of my car". This lark really showed off. Too bad it was not a little closer still.  We call it Songlark, but this one can´t sing with all the food in it´s beak. These are the best shots I´ve got from it. Mostly you see it in the air, hovering and singing it´s heart out. :)  And, no, the camera was not on autoshooting. The lark was there for a while. Seemed to like that straw. :)

  2. Kul att se en hel bildserie. Den fågeln måste väl vara ovanlig!

    Fågelskådargästen i Morgonpasset häromdagen blev väldigt populär. Fick massor med respons sade dom. Han heter Bo. Då kan han kalla sig "Fågelbo" då......

  12. What a performance! Lucky for us you were there to capture the action. Isn't the car just the best blind?
