The Lulu's lark is a small lark found primarily in meadows, heathlands, and open fields across Europe and Asia. It is distinguished by its streaked brown plumage, light belly, and its discreet ground movements. This small bird is particularly known for its powerful song, which it performs in flight during its courtship displays. The Lulu’s lark primarily feeds on insects and seeds, which it searches for in low vegetation or on the ground.

Photography tips:
Photograph the Lulu’s lark using a telephoto lens to capture its song flights and furtive ground movements. It is best to photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light is soft and the bird is more active. Be ready to capture a moment when the bird performs its courtship displays in flight or perches to feed.
