Skylark? - Ulcinj Saltpans, Montenegro

Hi,

Could someone pls tell me if this is a skylark? Everything looks right but at no stage did any crests appear from the fifty-ish birds we saw yesterday.

Thanks for any help.

Richard

Spot on with Sky Lark. The crests aren't often visible in the winter.

Ah, that would make sense then. I was wondering if it might be a seasonal thing. Much appreciated Chris.
