This lovely little fragile bird is perfectly captured, Giangiorgio! I wonder what the crested lark sings about? Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

He's probably singing to find a partner, I'm glad you enjoyed this photo. many thanks Tatiana and take care of you, ciao Giangiorgio

Another beautiful bird photo Giangiorgio! Perfect timing. Warmest regards, Todd

Many thanks Todd for your appreciation of my photos, glad you liked them, ciao Giangiorgio

Nice image of a crested lark that Francis of Assisi believed to be a bird of special significance, because of its modestly colored plumage, hood, and song.

Saint Bonaventure, an early Franciscan theologian, in his work about the "Life of Saint Francis", describes a gathering of larks, which appeared “at the hour of the holy man’s passing ", ciao Sandor

Thank you very much Sandor for your note that I find very interesting, In Sardinia this variety of lark is not present, I photographed this Crested lark in Extremadura. ciao Giangiorgio

I was curious and went on DPReview to see the characteristics (specifications) of your Nikon D500. Quite impressive as this wonderful photo taken with it. 7/7 from me! Complimenti, Giangiorgio! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment, the D500 1.5 crop factor is a big advantage in using the tele, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

such a crisp and sunny photo of this lark! Its's beautifully composed, the colors are spot-on and it's a real action portrait, with the bird singing to attract a mate. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Beautiful shot! Right in the middle of a song too!
