Skylark Bird Songs أغاني الطيور القبرة



My favourite songbirds, outdoing even the blackbirds, are the skylarks. Like them I like wide open spaces. And for my money there is nowhere better to hear them than on the broad expanse above the cliffs of Rhossili Bay at the end of the Gower pensinsula in Wales.

Step carefully if you stroll out to the Worm's Head. I once met an angry adder on the beach in front of that tidal island.

This is a wonderful recording, and the best one I could find. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe you can leave an appreciative 'thumbs up' at YouTube if you do.

  1. Yes, a very good recording. I am fond of the bird, it very common here, and many's a summer's day when I have sat listening to them singing high above the sugar beet fields, so high you can hear but barely see them.

    1. Enchanting. A wide sky full of Vaughan Williams' music (Lark Arising) and not a tree in sight.

    1. Great week ahead! Hope yours is too. I've started as I mean to go on with a traditional meal at my local Ethiopian Restaurant.

  3. A beautiful songbird indeed Gwil.
    Hope you like my rather limited pictures of today's outing. The outward weather was awful but returned in sunshine.
