Gentille Alouette (Alauda arvensis)

Lovely shot Marian, they are such lovely birds, well done

great image well done

:bounce: I'm so happy you liked my little "tenor" giving it all!!! Thanks a million for looking and for the encouraging comments!!! o And loved to know so many of you knew the song and had their own memories about it!!!


I've done some research, because the idea of a cute little bird having its feathers plucked out didn't like me really, and to my surprise I've found out that French colonists considered the Skylark a game bird and they ate it! :eek!: That might explain why to pluck it but now I don't like the idea of the Skylark being a game bird! :-O

Very happy to share, as soon as I can more stuff will come, cheers everybody!!! B

Thanks for your lovely comments.
