Skylarks in the Wind

I have recently moved house and the fields opposite are full of skylarks. For the first time in my life, I am living in a house where I can wake to sound of skylarks singing; a dream come true.
Previously I have tended to come across these birds in the welsh mountains where they tend to sing almost continuously at this time of year. Here I am noticing that they sing the most in the early morning, no doubt re-establishing their territories, and that they tend not to sing when it is windy. It is windy most of the time in the Black Mountains of Wales and so I can only presume that the welsh skylarks have adapted their behaviour to cope with the wind.
