Flushed at ~30-40m distance from grass meadow at end of peninsula (the vagrant trap spot that has had multiple rarities since it was initially birded 2 yrs ago); instantly knew it was a Skylark from the familiar flight calls (raspy/liquid-y buzzing, slightly descending longer chrrrr notes of varying lengths, and shorter clearer liquidy "slip" notes reminiscent of some Tree Swallow calls). Bird circled and dropped out of sight behind some broom bushes in a tiny patch of grass. This frustrating sequence repeated several times as the bird flushed from out of view, buried in grass, at ~30-50m distance, only to drop in grass out of view again in various spots at the end of the peninsula; before I left a little before dusk, bird was last seen dropping out of sight and couldn't find it readily, but suspect it was still there. Never got eyes on the bird on the ground and only got a split-second glimpse in the bins in flight, but had several flybys at ~20-150m distance with naked eye views showing medium-sized all warm-brown coloured passerine with narrow pale trailing edge to wing along tips of the primaries and secondaries. Didn't see face pattern as didn't see the bird well in the bins. Broad wings, pumping/somewhat slow wingbeats. Got some poor videos and poor recording (wind noise) from the bird in flight.
