CRESTED LARK
30th April 2009, Thursday
News has just come in of a CRESTED LARK at Dungeness.
This robust lark is typical of arable land right across Europe from the Middle East but stops abruptly at Calais Docks!
It hardly ever makes it across to this side of the Channel but can be heard among portside gantries and found grovelling in gutters close to Gravelines.
Its fondness for the Calais Hoverport led to it being renamed Carpark Lark.
