Birdomnivore

The woodlark is a small songbird with a sweet, warbling voice. It lives across Europe, parts of Asia, and North Africa, preferring open woodlands and heathlands. Unlike many larks, it often perches in trees rather than staying on the ground.

  • It's the only living bird species in its genus Lullula.
  • Western woodlarks stay put year-round, while eastern ones migrate south for winter.
  • This bird sings even in flight, with a looping, fluttering song.
