Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis)

I'm beginning to think I'm going to come across a lot of birds that include "Eurasian" in the title. I think there are more of these than there are "American" birds back home. Or perhaps is that we don't get as many of them where I live back home, I'm not sure. But there's quite a theme of Eurasian birds here!

Anyway, my husband and I had gone out to the countryside, and through him, I learned that all over the countryside, at least in England, of not other parts of the UK, there are these public footpaths that allow you to walk through fields at permissible areas. It's a weird concept to a Canadian, but we have so much public access to large swaths of nature that we don't feel the need to do such things, and plots of land are also probably too big there. It might take quite a while to walk around someone's field back home, whereas here you could probably do so quite easily as they seem to be sometimes the size of a pasture someone at home might have near their house for a small herd of horses they might want to keep nearby. While we were walking through, there were a number of the carrion crows hanging out in the field. I assumed it might have been a fairly fresh harvest, and perhaps it had unearthed something that the crows were interested in eating. But I noticed that there was a small brown bird that was landing in the field as well. There were a couple of them, but once they landed, they were so hard to spot. They camouflaged in so well with the harvested field that it was really challenging to photograph them, but I managed to capture one! I popped the photo into my Merlin app once I downloaded it at home, and I discovered it was a Eurasian skylark. This type of bird is completely new to me since it's a species we don't have at home--we have meadowlarks but not skylarks, and the meadowlarks don't come up too far north, so I've never seen one of those at home either. Below, I have included the original photo for your viewing challenge: see if you can spot the bird! It's not impossible, but you probably won't see it right away.
