Skylark
by Zed
Old shot with *ist DL
The BG grass looks unusual as the Skylark was stood at the bottom of a steep bank. Nervous birds so happy to get a shot at all....

Same here, well taken

Thanks gents. They are ground nesting birds that fly straight up, sing their heads off whilst drifting away. Then, when they think you're far enough away from the nest, they drop to the ground then run back through the grass. Hence, difficult to get a shot of. Luckily, this one didn't notice the blob in combat gear was human!

Excellent close up - as you say, very easily spooked and hard to capture
