A mid morning run down to La Linea and the a quick whizz around Gib.

We set of across the fields towards the motorway seeing the one flocks of Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), mixed in with good numbers of Stone Curlews (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus), a perched Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Western Cattle Egret (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor) and
House Sparrow (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus).

In Huétor we stopped and checked the Rio Genel by the bridge where we found a Barnical Goose (Barnacla Cariblanca / Branta leucopsis) which had been reported on E-bird but unfortunately it was always going to be an escaped bird and the small plastic ring confirmed this but still nice to see but stays off all the lists.
