The Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) is native to Europe, Asia, and the northern regions of Africa. It is widespread across most of Europe and western and central Asia. Its range extends from Ireland and Portugal in the west to Japan and eastern Russia in the east. The species is also found in parts of northern Africa, particularly in Morocco and Algeria.

The Eurasian Skylark typically inhabits open landscapes such as grasslands, meadows, agricultural fields, and heathlands. It thrives in temperate regions, preferring areas with low vegetation where it can easily forage and nest on the ground. The species is adaptable to various climates, from the cooler temperate zones of Scandinavia to the warmer regions of southern Europe and Asia.

As a ground-dwelling bird, the Eurasian Skylark primarily feeds on seeds and insects, playing an essential role in controlling insect populations in its habitat. Its ecological niche involves its adaptation to agricultural landscapes, where it benefits from open fields for feeding and nesting. In regions with intensive farming practices, it has adapted to make use of crop fields, though it faces threats from habitat changes due to agricultural intensification.
