A good start to the year.
 |
| Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax). |
The first birds seen included Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata), Water Pipit (Bisbita Alpino / Anthus spinoletta), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor) and a small Group of 18 Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax).
 |
| Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo /Athene noctua). |
The next stop produced a flock of Eurasian Stone Curlew 250+ (Alcaraván Común /Burhinus oedicnemus) roosting in an asparagus field with Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros) and Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo /Athene noctua) all there.
To the west of the area another flock of Little Bustards (214 birds) was seen, along with Northern Lapwing 440+ (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus), Euroean Golden Plover 250+ (Chorlito Dorado Europeo / Pluvialis apricaria) and several Western Cattle Egrets (Garcilla Bueyera /Bubulcus ibis).
Then the rain arrived, so back to watching the Iberian Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki) from the kitchen window.
