info

One short encounter with a greater short-toed lark initializes a gallery of this species on my website. Coming back from an encounter with the blue rock thrush I saw a greater short-toed lark feeding on a field. As befits a bird on Malta it was very skittish and kept a substantial distance. It is a pity, as it is hardly possible to encounter this bird in Poland as it is a very rare guest in our country. It occurs in southern Europe, where it lives on open agricultural areas.
