A Skylark (Alauda arvensis), with two beetles in its beak. Skylarks are found throughout much of the world. It is a mostly dull-looking bird, being mainly brown above and paler below. They are known for the song of the male, which is delivered in hovering flight from heights of 50 to 100 m (160–330 ft).Photo: David Iliff
