A Crested Lark foraging on a mound of manure

            A large non-migratory lark found across Eurasia and Northern Africa. This one was a lifer for me. 

There are several larks in India which have crests like this, so the Id is confusing for many. But for this, there is little doubt since it is quite large - the size of a bunting - rather than the size of a large sparrow which most other larks are. It is only found in a few western states of India. We sighted them several times foraging in the desert or dry lands. In fact in the salty desert of Kutch, this was the only bird found in good numbers. 

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
