  Surfbirds News: Black Lark admitted to British List
Black Lark breeds on the steppes of Kazakhstan and southern Russia where it is largely resident but individuals regularly wander west and south of the normal range, especially during periods of severe weather.
Increasing field experience of Black Larks amongst members of both Committees, especially in relation to the variability in the white mottling on the basically fl plumage, helped to convince them of the validity of the description.
Advice from our captive bird expert, Roger Wilkinson (Chester Zoo), indicated that there was no evidence that Black Lark was known in captivity (and this remains the case), although its congener, Mongolian Lark (Melanocorypha mongolica) was being offered for sale.

Identification: The brownish horned lark is best identified by its very distinctive head pattern: fl "horns" (feather tufts), a white or yellowish face and throat, a broad, fl stripe under the eye, and a fl bib.
In winter plumage, the fl areas on the head and breast are partially obscured by pale edgings.
As agricultural practices changed and development increased, horned lark nesting decreased and a population decline was noted for the Northeast.

 Lark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Only one species, the Shore Lark, has spread to North America, where it is called the Horned Lark.
This fact, combined with a willingness to expand into anthropogenic habitats — as long as these are not too intensively managed — has ensured larks a prominent place in literature and music (the skylark being eulogised in "The Lark Ascending" (1914) by Ralph Vaughan Williams, for example).

Once in the park however, the birding was excellent in the late morning and we scored both African Marsh and the endemic Black Harrier, an exceptionally beautiful raptor.
Genetically these birds are quite distinct from their western cousins and with the rate of splitting larks in southern Africa these days, it is better to bank them.

 Lark Bunting   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Where the grasslands collide with the eastern slopes of the Rockies, you might be lucky to witness the annual courtship of the Lark Bunting.
Because there were no high points on which to perch, Lark Buntings learned to deliver their songs on the wing.
The scientific name melanocorys is Greek for 'fl lark'; although the Lark Bunting, the state bird of Colorado, is not related to the Sky Lark, its manner of singing in flight reminded pioneering naturalists of that European bird.

 Melanocorypha bimaculata
The Bimaculated Lark is easiest to identify in flight when the lack of a white trailing edge to the wing is distinctive and the tail has white tips rather than white outer feathers.
At rest they have prominent fl neck patches just like Calandras but notice that the breast is usually completely unstreaked and the head pattern is altogether more bold.
In particular, a long pale supercilium contrasts with a fl line through the lores which continues along the upper ridge of the otherwise pale bill.

 Eremophila alpestris
The name Shore Lark is derived from the fact that in northern Europe it winters almost exclusively at coastal sites, especially at the edges of beaches or saltmarshes.
However, many people prefer the name of Horned Lark as this refers to their characteristic face pattern, fl and yellow with two wispy fl lines sticking up above the head like horns.
These fl-and-yellow markings, particularly obvious on adult birds, are the easiest way to identify Shore Larks on the ground.
