Alauda arvensis
Migratory passerine. It is a bird of open farmland and heath, known throughout its range for the song of the male, which is delivered in hovering flight from heights of 50 to 100 m, when the singing bird may appear as just a dot in the sky from the ground. The song generally lasts two to three minutes, but it tends to last longer later in the mating season.
Seen in Fetlar, near Loch of Funzie.

Thanks, Debbie! I was in search for the red falarope but I had to settle for this nice skylark instead :-)
Great spotting Marta!
