Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis), White (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), Grey (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea) and Spanish (Yellow) Wagtail (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae), Little Ringed Plover (Chorlitejo Chico / Charadrius dubius) and

As I walked back down the Arroyo I past a tree and it started to call at me and within a minute or two I was watching a stunning
Scops Owl (Autillo Europeo / Otus scops).
