I've got some information devoted to the finding the Skylarks that reside
here in Victoria.

Read --> hotspots --> Site guide: Martindale

Skylarks can be found year round at Martindale Flats and at the Victoria
International Airport. They are singing now and will continue into the
early Summer. If you want to see them up close, best time is fall and
early winter where the fields have been harvested. Populations are in good
shape but numbers are declining as habitat is lost.

Cheers, Kevin
