Photograph by Martin Reid© | One
member of the lark family epitomizes the family's adaptation to the harsh stone
desert environment - the Hoopoe Lark.
With its distinctive bill and striking wing pattern in flight, it is easy to
identify, and the ultimate prize is to experience the dramatic display flight:-
the male floats upwards singing his fluty song until he is hovering some forty
feet up - then suddenly he plunges earthwards, head down and seemingly doomed,
only to pull out at the very last moment and flutter to the nearest bush -
exhilarating! | |
