Brown Songlarks

 The females mostly brown with some white and the males mostly mottled brown

Songlarks often seen and heard even in paddocks close to a town

The male sings a metallic sounding song as upwards he does fly

Though he never ascends that far up in the sky

In cup shaped nest of grass in long grass the female bird lay

Three or four pink speckled eggs well hidden away

Migratory in habit many who know of them say

In any one place their lifetime they don't stay

Not the finest songsters of the lark family

Though them you will recognize again once them you hear or see

In large numbers brown songlarks do not abound

They mostly live on insects they find on the ground

Birds mostly of grassland and scattered tree countryside

They have a huge range almost Australia wide.
