Nightingale (Ruisenor Común / Luscinia megarhynchos).

I parked at the halfway poing near the Walnut trees and walked back up the Arroyo to the normal parking spot and on up to the dammed point.

As I walked I saw Green Sandpiper (Andarrios Grande / Tringa ochropus), the first of 4 Woodchat Shrikes (Alcaudón Común / Lanius senator), lots of Woodpigeons (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos) x4, Willow Warbler (Mosquitero Musical / Phylloscopus trochillus), Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata), Linnet (Pardillo Común / Carduelis cannabina), Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa), Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis) and in a group of Tamarisk trees my first singing Nightingale (Ruisenor Común / Luscinia megarhynchos) of the spring but more unexpected was a nice male Brambling (Pinzón Real / Fringilla montifringilla)in the small Walnut opposite.
