I got up did a few bits and then headed down to the Arroyo where I had seen the
Penduline Tit (Pájaro Moscón / Remiz pendulinus) yesterday and as soon as I arrived I was sure I heard the bird but could not find it, I walked up and down the stretch of the Rio where there were spikes of Reed Mace.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUA-6Rh36gflSgnRtMjNyI4n4TRV3jkqtb5XrOLnvZyvKDkdv2bzfbGLd3BC19I-Hv0kYenIS-QEoWyc3XErDXUuBXxo4qXFuaS5SJDGbb1g0mswmKzAhc6zTBD8XvW2Q-ihM8ZXdriLPCCWwjORnJd6-MCAwSqPUvMS1PEqzwrPzeeaPZfKbahnRD=w640-h618) |

The smelly puddle in the Arroyo Vilano.

Almost straight away I saw a nice male Bluethroat (Pechiazul / Luscinia svecica) on the pool edge and whilst I was there I counted 5 birds intotal, 4 males and a female. This probably explains why the first male was so aggressive and chased all the other birds of any species away.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjEJbBHUzmBM2zuQVdFYV7O4ex4YlzlCh94QW8MBtGoTqw8rNw-gCk7tV_raWSNwPFyWhWCLacbLHypheV8cw3j-wrP1dsYFQIObShB2zYgZM7b0nBIXhcDdmlnp2t6YWIxvHcNealGdE_-gvKqGDVH58LD4YnCUzJpLh7LJgIyHfO_RozQlGljxkJ=w640-h560) |

At one point just before I drove home the Male popped up from the pool to the reeds next to the car and spent a full 10 minutes preening and singing some short phrases and took no notice of my presence or the shutter rattling lke a machine gun.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNiu7n-8NFjJmCUdH4_sg4ekDdgvn-Sp92nEbZDTE5D_TveudOi12tAm3rOIqmqmowyHhqYis6FZ9G0D-DTuMwfCj130FCJ73SYmN-PqvUGzFo1KdTgM_oE6ryx1Ajnmt8mBx68uQcKV5jS6I2z2hknPHj1sd38VtWTUNo7nEHxDb1j8L51jSnjUKV=w572-h640) |
