Eurasian Skylark
5 sections
The Eurasian skylark, introduced to New Zealand in the 19th century, is a small brown bird with a big voice. About the size of a sparrow, this unassuming farmland bird is famous for its spectacular aerial displays and melodious song. Its presence in New Zealand's open country adds a touch of European charm to our rural landscapes.
