		On seeing the bird, it was obvious we were looking at a large lark and after watching for a few moments, I realised it was flying like a Calandra Lark, and said just that.
		Calandra Lark breeds from Iberia and Morocco through the Mediterranean to northern Afghanistan and Russian Turkistan.
		Accepted records of 'fly-over' rare larks must surely be at a premium, however, the fact that the bird was seen by several highly experienced and respected observers may ultimately have been enough to see it through.

		Also, although the underwing is dark it isn’t as strikingly fl as on a Calandra Lark.
		Restricted in this region to the central plateau of Turkey where it sometimes occurs alongside Calandra Lark, especially at the end of the breeding season.

		and in the steppes of the Ebro river for Black and Pintail Sandgrouse, Lesser Short-toed and Short-toed Lark, Calandra Lark and the elusive Dupont's Lark.

		After searching for Dupont's Lark we head back to our hotel for breakfast and then spend the remainder of the day in one of the best spots to see the steppe species of northern Spain.

	birding facts Birding Resources by the Fat Birder
		Timoneda d`Alfes is the only site in Catalonia where Dupont`s Lark still breeds, a stronghold of the eastern Iberian population.
		The number of breeding pairs has decreased alarmingly from 40-60 pairs in 1990 to less than 20 pairs in 2001.
		In June 1998 the Catalan government introduced a special plan for protecting the site, stating that the use of the aerodrome was provisional and including it in the list of natural interesting sites, (PEIN) which it had initiated in 1985.

	Birding Sites in Israel: Mount Hermon
		Both the summit and the approach through lower areas have an excellent range of birds that cannot be matched elsewhere in the Western Palearctic.
		Crimson-winged Finch is usually found only on the summit and to see this species it is necessary to take the ski-lift from the ski-center.
		Alpine Chough can also be seen at the highest levels but is rare and possibly also the endemic race of Shore Lark.

	Melanocorypha calandra
		Calandra Larks often look too big to be larks so at first glance you might think they are waders or even small birds of prey!
		At rest, the large size, massive conical bills and prominent fl neck patches quickly eliminate all the other larks except Bimaculated Lark.
		Calandras can be separated from this species by their plainer faces, white outer feathers and white trailing edge to the wings.
