The Collared Palm Thrush, known scientifically as <em>Cichladusa arquata</em>, is a passerine bird belonging to the family Muscicapidae, the Old World flycatchers. <em>Cichladusa arquata</em> is a notable singer, often characterised by its melodic and varied song delivered from prominent perches. The species typically inhabits woodland, thicket, and savanna habitats, often in areas with scattered trees or dense shrubbery, including areas near human habitation. As the common name suggests, the species is often associated with palm groves and similar vegetation types. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Palm Thrush is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a stable global population without significant conservation concerns.

laverca

Celebrada na literatura e poesia europeia por seu complexo e melodioso canto entoado durante espetaculares voos de exibição, a cotovia-comum (Alauda arvensis) sobe verticalmente centenas de metros acima de campos abertos, pradarias e charnecas da Europa e Ásia, produzindo um torrente ininterrupto de canto que pode durar até uma hora. Os machos podem produzir mais de 700 frases de canto distintas. Outrora extremamente abundante nos campos europeus, as populações de cotovias diminuíram mais de 70% desde 1970 devido à intensificação agrícola.
