Greater Short-toed Lark

Slightly larger than the common sparrow, the greater short-toed lark is pale brown above, with brown streaks. The chest and abdomen parts are pale white with brown streaks around the throat.

It is commonly seen in open grassland area and cultivated fields, often in large flocks. Sexes alike. Juveniles are much slimmer in comparison.

Important note for all new birdwatchers:

Most species of larks build nests on grasslands near small bushes or tiny rock outcroppings, with very little protection against predators. For beginners, these nests are almost impossible to spot. Hence, it is of utmost importance that we keep to well trodden paths on our field trips, lest we inadvertently trample the nests.
