grass and rootlets, with 
perhaps a little hair. 
The eggs, four or five in 
number, are brownish 
grey, thickly speckled or 
clouded with dark colour. 
the nest has been discovered, the 
mother bird has been known to 
carry them off to a considerable 
distance in her claws. There are generally two 
broods in each year. 
The Woodlark, which in some respects is 
very like the Skylark, may be distinguished from that bird 
by its smaller size, its shorter tail, and the broad line of 
white over the eye, and also by its habit of mounting 
into the air in circles.
