Huétor Tajar Loop of the Town and Cerro Hacho, Granada Province, Spain.

A morning walk around the fields and then a visit to the Puddle on Hacho.
Ebird List for the Fields.
Ebird List for Cerro Hacho.

Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata).
I popped down to Huétor for a few bits of shopping, on the way back I went for a walk around the loop of the town, high lights included Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo), Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), Hoopoe (Abubilla / Upupa epops), Iberian  Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki), Crag (Avión Roquero / Ptyonoprogne rupestris), Sand (Avión Zapador / Riparia riparia) and House Martin (Avión Común / Delichon urbica), Red-rumped (Golondrina Dáurica / Hirundo daurica) and Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica), Cetti's Warbler (Ruisenor Bastardo / Cettia cetti) and Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea).
Crested Tit (Herrerillo Capuchino / Parus cristatus).
On my way home I popped into the fields briefly just to see if the pair of
Black-winged Kites (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus) were still around and I was pleased to see they were, I also had some distant views of the Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) and a Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata).
Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua).
I sorted the shopping at the house and then went up to the Puddle on the track at Hacho but a part from a single Crested Tit (Herrerillo Capuchino / Parus cristatus) nothing showed up, so I dropped back down to the house seeing a very nice Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua) on the way.
