Not a particularly inspiring photo but I would appreciate a definite ID. I believe it's a Skylark but I'm ready to be corrected.

I agree with John, and my Collins bird quide

Very nice image

EDIT - John you changed your I.D.IMO it is a Meadow Pipit.The Skylark has a light patch above the eye.The bird in this image doesn't.

Looking at the markings & the colour of the legs. I am going to say 200% Meadow Pipit.

Definately not a Skylark
