Descriptive notes.15-16 cm, 20-35 g, wingspan 26-30 cm. Smaller than Skylark with structure recalling Woodlark, and differing in longer bill, shorter, broader-based, and rounder wings, and shorter and rather narrower tail.Plumage closely similar to Eurasian Skylark but shows rusty rear cheeks and wing-panel, more narrowly streaked breast-band on buffier underparts, and sandy trailing edge to wings in flight. Sexes similar, litlle seasonal variation. Habitat.Breeds in east Palearctic and Oriental regions where it largely replaces Skylark in equivalent habitats, showing similar adaptation from moist natural grasslands to field cultivation at fairly wide range of altitudes, and similar tendency to avoid closed, wooded ,or broken terrain.Food and FeedingPoorly known, seeds and insects.Ingests grit. Forages on ground, singly, in pairs or in flocks.Breeding.Mar-Aug. Male song flight at great height, hovering with quivering wingbeats for long periods.Nest a cup of grass, lined with finer grass, hair or rootlets, in depression on ground, generally sheltered by tuft of grass or mound of earth. 2-5 eggs. Incubation by female alone 10-11 days. chicks fed by both parents. Movements.Resident or migratory. Northern populations inconspicua and lhamarum are present in USSR only during breeding season. Depart mainly during early Oct though some remain until Dec, return Feb to Mar.Wintering range of north-western populations and migratory status of birds breeding Iran and Afghanistan not clear. inopinata of central China and south-east Tibet winters in Nepal, N Burma and plains of N India. Other populations essentially resident or subject to altitudinal and other local migratory and nomadic movements. Status and ConservationNot globally threatened.Israel.In Israel subspecies . Alauda gulgula further study needed. Fairly rare migrant and winter visitor in Arava and Eilat, rare in Negev end E Israel. |
