He started hang-gliding years ago as a lark.
He asked who could think of caging larks that sang at heaven's gates.
It might refer to starlings and larks, as well as to other things.
It is for the county council in the first instance to consider whether larks need protection, during the open season.
I agree also that it is cruel to keep larks in captivity, because it is the nature of that bird to ascend.
The arrangements suit the larks but not the nightingales.
That would be a lark, and a very happy state of affairs.
Lorries can be stolen for various purposes—sometimes just for a lark—and terrible things can happen.
I know of no place where you hear the lark better than in the areas where our coal pits are situated.
