Latin Etymology: Alauda ("lark") gulgula (unclear etymology)
Adult Oriental Skylark (subspecies A. g. gulgula) at Florican Grasslands, Cambodia - February 2019
Featured Subspecies: Alauda gulgula gulgula
Weight: 15g / Length: 15-18cm / Wingspan: ?
NO UK STATUS / IUCN Red List: Least Concern
The Oriental Skylark is as the name suggests, the equivalent of the Eurasian Skylark of East Asia. It appears cosmetically similar to them, but a little smaller and more slender. They seemed to spend their time scurrying alonside the roads, looking for food, having slightly more pipit like behaviour than other larks I've seen.
