Huétor Fields, Granada Province.

A whizz around the local patch.

Sedge Warbler (Carricerin Común / Acrocephalus schoenobaenus).
I started down on the Rio Vilano and then went out on to the middle fields on my way down to the mechanics, along the Rio I checked on the young Common Moorhens (Gallineta Común / Gallinulas chloropus) and found the 4 chicks still doing nicely. 
A female Bluethroat (Ruiseñor Pechiazul / Luscinia svecica).
