4 sections

The Brown Songlark is a highly nomadic songbird found throughout much of mainland Australia’s open grasslands and agricultural landscapes. Males are more than twice the size of females. This species is especially abundant in southern Australia, where its loud, metallic song and dramatic aerial displays are seen in the spring and summer in open country.
