Snipe (Agachadiza Común / Gallinago gallinago). |
I went down onto the fields again and most of the species were as expected, 36
Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) were right out on the far end of the Lucerne fields and 2 Reed Buntings (Escribano Palustre / Emberiza schoeniclus) were still knocking around the reeds along the Arroyo.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavWEfFM61t7Qp_zG6NQb2HJc4xueZUfgOHehSsK9tY2avsz3KtXzyb4i3bS3ZoEyadosWIqVnOpzIChGnDOp0JDQEzynBi_V7ZzKKoGwaUYKEy_Skt7cknNG3QBXzyPY7XaEUtmQmBBs/w640-h470/29th-Jan-21-5.jpg) |
Snipe (Agachadiza Común / Gallinago gallinago). |
In a damp patch on one of the fields I found a couple of Snipe (Agachadiza Común / Gallinago gallinago), a male Bluethroat (Pechiazul / Luscinia svecica), Water Pipit (Bisbita Alpino / Anthus spinoletta) and some noisy Perez's Frogs (Rana Común / Pelophylax perezi).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggU0fbUnn6EXcLNAqDz0Syw80bSzcMy73UMzOWV0dnD0udGlleiqaQxH_QMaZeSNmlbn0X818rlYgx1crLJYnsTKeLuq9Ym8s0hyphenhyphenYOb5quBfUuexf29QK0IDp5yluvLx5KhWY9ojCBuHQ/w640-h618/29th-Jan-21-3.jpg) |

Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni). |
Around the Poplar plantation I had good numbers of Iberian Magpies (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki), a fly over Great Spotted Woodpecker (Pico Picapinos / Dendrocopos major) and
Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa).

Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita). |
I drove passed the house and did a short walk through the lower pine woods, on the ground there were masses of Broad-leaved Iris (Iris planifolia), lots of nearly in flower Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum Robertiana), one of Iris flowers had a freshly emerged Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) nectaring on it and there was a
Hummingbird Hawkmoth (Macroglossum stellatarum) whizzing around the same area of plants.
In the same area and lower down the track I had Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Long-tailed (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus) and Crested Tit (Herrerillo Capuchino / Parus cristatus), Firecrest (Reyezuelo Listado / Regulus ignicapillus), Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Common Crossbill (Piquituerto Común / Loxia curvirostra) and Wren (Chochin / Troglodytes troglodytes).

I was so hoping to get to Spain this year, after missing last year's trip. It is looking increasingly unlikely, though. That will be two years of not going on a foreign butterfly adventure!!
