Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

The patch walk.

Ebird List, 48 species.

Red-rumped Swallow (Golondrina Dáurica / Hirundo daurica).

Parked by the Arroyo as usual and walked the Lucerne fields, then I took the tracks along the Arroyo as far as the railway bridge, highlights of the Lucerne fields were my first Red-rumped Swallows (Golondrina Dáurica / Hirundo daurica) on the patch, 4x Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), Little Ringed Plover (Chorlitejo Chico / Charadrius dubius), Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus) and Black-winged Kite (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus).

One of the regular Little Owls (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua).

Along the Arroyo between the Walnut trees and the road bridge I had a couple of Green Sandpiper (Andarrios Grande / Tringa ochropus), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Iberian  Magpies (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki), Tree Sparrows (Gorrión Molinero / Passer montanus), Spanish (Yellow) Wagtails (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae) and masses of Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita).
