Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

A late afternoon walk around the fields.

Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) Exposed Male.



After spending some time up on the terrace I decided to head for the fields where I was surprised to see the one male Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) was still out on the fields strutting his stuff even though all the Alfalfa fields had all been cut.
