The skylark is a small brown bird, somewhat larger than a sparrow but smaller than a starling. It is streaky brown with a small crest, which can be raised when the bird is excited or alarmed, and a white-sided tail. The wings also have a white rear edge, visible in flight. It is renowned for its display flight, vertically up in the air. Its recent and dramatic population declines make it a Red List species

If you see a lark with a very short tail somewhere on the sandy soils, on heather or drifting sand in the Netherlands, then that is almost certainly a wood lark. But the wood lark usually makes itself heard before you see it. During the song he flies in undulating flight in large circles above his territory. At the end of the song he lets himself slide down in a spiral flight.
