Dust bathing Round 4 (Alauda arvensis)

No, you didn't miss rounds 2 and 3, I've omitted them!! The Skylark kept up his dust bathing for ages, gradually getting closer to us. It really was so entertaining to watch.

This picture is towards the end of his last go at it.

Brilliant low camera view of this lovely skylark dust bathing. Great colors, focus, lighting, detail, and setting. First-rate D! TFS!

I suspect without the commotion of the dusting this bird will not be easily seen in that setting, Delia.

Splendid shot!
