Skylark ....
..........which hovered just long enough to get the shot :-)
Taken at the Tempelhofer Park, Berlin.
Formerly an airport and now open to the public as a recreational area. The park is also home to many birds including the skylarks which return every year in April to breed.

yes, i bet it was singing, too! my dictionary tells me skylarks are great multitaskers, specializing in "prolonged song during hovering flight"! and what an amazing in-flight capture this is, jenipher! me, i haven't seen a skylark in decades, let alone ever managed a picture of one – in fact, my little olympus is presently fainting in its box, overhearing me speak of the task… ; )) – – love the "urgency" in the bird's facial expression – do birds have "facial expressions"? not sure… ; ) – , and the peppy gleam in her eye: sing, hover, LIVE!! is its credo! greetings, sabine.LadyNoone 12/06/2014 21:05
