Spanish (Yellow) Wagtail (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae). |
I popped down to the Supermarket in Huetor and decided to cut across the fields on the return journey. A couple of the lucerne fields were being flooded and had attracted large numbers of passage
Spanish (Yellow) Wagtail (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae) of all ages and several other subspecies.
Cattle Egrets (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis) and a single
Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea) were also feeding on the many insects and animals flushed out by the water.
