Woodlark is a small bird related to skylarks. It lives in open areas with a few scattered trees, such as moorland. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
The woodlark is about 6 inches (15 centimeters) long, with a short tail and strongly patterned brown and buff plumage. The woodlark has a sweet song, which is produced from a perch or during the male’s song flight, when he is descending slowly to the ground on outspread wings. The woodlark nests on the ground. Its nest is a neat cup of grass, moss, and roots, lined with horsehair or a similar material.
