Skylark (Alauda arvensis)
Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus)
Short foldable crest. Pale eye-ring and supercilium. Long primary projection (primaries extend well beyond tertials), white trailing edge to wing and white outer tail feathers. Tail much longer than in Wood Lark.
Sound:Song a pleasing energetic stream of chirping, merry trills, interspersed with mimicry. Trills quite resonant with fairly full tone. Song usually given in flight high in the air. Less characteristic, shorter, weaker and more varied song when given from ground. Most typical flight call a short trilling "chirrup", with the end note noticeably lower pitched than the start. Also several other more cryptic calls.

CCFairly small shearwater with jet black upperparts, and pure white underparts. Armpits often with dark markings. White notch behind wing base. Distinguished from Yelkouan and Balearic Shearwater by the always pure white vent. Faint, white wedge behind ear coverts. Legs do not protrude behind the tail. Flight typical of family: Rapid, shallow and stiff wing-beats, with alternating glides. Sometimes with only the primaries moving.
Sound:Vocal at breeding ground. The call is sharp and wailing, and consist of two parts. A drawn, "inhalation", is immediately followed by a trisyllabic "ka-ya-ya".
