A crested lark standing on reddish soil beside low purple wildflowers, bathed in warm dawn light.

The crested lark tiptoeing across a reddish dirt path with a piece of flower held in its beak.

A close view of the crested lark standing on gravel, showing its upright stance, streaked brown plumage, and pointed crest.

The crested lark mid-step across gravel, its crest raised, with golden morning light highlighting its brown feathers.

The second bird species that crossed my path that morning was the #CrestedLark.
A bird of open fields and dry ground, often overlooked until you notice its distinctive little crest.
This one was busy striding along the track, catching the first light of day. #birds 🪶 #birdcontent

Yesterday, when I had my good bridge camera, nothing. Today,.when I don't, a pair of crested larks hoping about the vineyard. Not complaining, still a privilege to see them just... a bit frustrating
