Description


Continuing my series about the birds seen earlier this month in Fuerteventura,one of the Canary Islands: The Lesser Short-toed Lark (Calandrella rufescens) is a small passerine bird. It breeds in Spain, north Africa, also including Turkey eastwards across the semi-deserts of central Asia to Mongolia and China. Many populations, including the Spanish and African breeders, are sedentary, but some Asian birds from the north of the breeding range migrate south in winter. This species is a very rare wanderer to northern and western Europe. This is a bird of dry open country, preferring even drier and barer soils than Greater Short-toed Lark. L’Alouette pispolette (Calandrella rufescens) est une espèce de passereaux de la famille des Alaudidae.Cette espèce niche en Espagne, en Afrique du Nord et depuis la Turquie, à travers les zones semi-arides d'Asie centrale jusqu'à la Mongolie et la Chine. Thank you very much for your comments & favs on my previous upload in this series: thumb_2310742.jpg "Redshanks – Chevaliers gambettes"
