The Woodlark (Lullula arborea) is the only lark in the genus Lullula (Kaup, 1829). It breeds across most of Europe, the Middle East Asia and the mountains of north Africa. It is mainly resident in the west of its range, but eastern populations of this passerine bird are more migratory, moving further south in winter. Even in the milder west of its range, many birds move south in winter.
