habits of the Shore-Lark have been fully described by 

 various Siberian and N. American explorers. The 

 manners and flight of this bird closely resemble those 

 of the Sky-Lark, singing as it mounts into the air ; but 

 also often singing on the ground. The song is musical 

 and soft, not so powerful as that of the Sky-Lark ; and 

 Mr. Wolley remarks that it often sings in Lapland 

 perched on the top of a rail or a barn. There is no 

 authentic record of the Shore-Lark having occurred 

 either on the west coast of Great Britain or in Ireland.
