A couple hours sat in the car watching the Arroyo.
 |
| Common / Garden Bulbul (Bulbul Naranjero / Pycnonotus barbatus). |
I parked down by the Arroyo but sat in the car for almost 2 hours birding as the weather was pretty horrendous, heavy rain and high winds.
 |
| Iberian Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki). |
I was hoping for the
Common / Garden Bulbul (Bulbul Naranjero / Pycnonotus barbatus) again after getting views yesterday, it did appear but just for around 20 seconds when It came up into the same tree, called twice and the went for cover.
 |
| One or two Spotless Starlings (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor). |
In the same area I also recorded

Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto).
 |
| A few more Spotless Starlings (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor). |
The rain just kept coming so I just sat there seeing

| and even more Spotless Starlings (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor). |
It eventually stopped raining for a while so I had a walk down to the plantation but did not add much except for Golden Plover (Chorlito Dorado Europeo / Pluvialis apricaia) x57, Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus) x 74, Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis) and Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa).
The rain returned just as I reached the furthest point in the walk and I was just a bit soaked to the skin by the time I got back to the car.
