what is it?

The woodlark or wood lark ( Lullula arborea ) is the only extant species in the lark genus Lullula . It is found across most of Europe, the Middle East, western Asia and the mountains of north Africa. It is mainly resident (non-migratory) in the west of its range, but eastern populations of this passerine bird are more migratory, moving further south in winter.
