Brown Songlark

The Brown Songlark was described by Nicholas Aylward Vigors and Thomas Horsfield as Megalurus cruralis in 1827. However the specific name of the former authors took priority. It is a species of Sylviidae, the Old World Warblers, a successful passerine family. It shares the genus Cincloramphus with the Rufous Songlark, another species endemic to much of Australia.

The Brown Songlark is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Male Brown Songlarks engage in 'song flights'; singing continuously as they fly up above their territories.

Harrier and Blue Bonnet, as well as Brown Songlark in the paddocks, and in the larger roadside bush areas Rufous Songlark. One of my favourite spots in Wyperfeld is at start the Dattuck Track, just past the Eastern Lookout. This area contains extensive areas of Mallee with some large stands of Spinifex. This is a reliable site for Victor's only megapode, the Malleefowl, particularly on the right hand (southern) side of the track. In the last few years I've seen Malleefowl here in 2002, 2004 and 2005. More
