The British name for what North Americans call the horned lark (Eremophila alpestris), a small ground-dwelling bird that visits British shores in winter. The British name reflects where the bird is typically seen in the UK — along coastal shorelines and shingle beaches. The species is the same; only the common name differs.
A small flock of shore larks was working the strandline at the edge of the sea.
