Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

An afternoon walk around the Lucerne Fields after a morning on the coast.

Very distant Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) just above the Smoke.
I left Dave at the house and Did the usual walk but there were few interesting species but I did find a Horseshoe Whip Snake (Coluber hippocrepis), Clouded Yellow (Colias croceus) x2, Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) x4, Small White (Pieris rapae) x2, Large White (Pieris brassicae) x1, Blue-rock Thrush (Roquero Solitario / Monticola solitarius), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Common Starling (Estornino Pinto / Sturnus vulgaris), Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis), Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), 35x Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus) and Iberian Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki).
Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis).
Goldfinches (Jilguero / Carduelis carduelis) and Serins (Verdecillo / Serinus serinus).
When I got back we set the Actinic up on the terrace and Dave put an LED down in the garden but as it dropped down to ust +3 over night we were not expecting a lot.
Common Starling (Estornino Pinto / Sturnus vulgaris).

Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus).
