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. :)

None of these photos are good, but as I have seen it I wanted it in my collection anyway.
