Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

Breeding success down on the fields.

Ebird List.

Spanish (Yellow) Wagtails (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae) immature bird.

I parked at the usual spot and went for a walk before it got too hot as I wanted to see if the Black-winged Kites (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus) were still around, they were but I only managed to see 1 adult and 2 of the youngsters.

As I walked I also saw 4x female looking Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) but guess these birds were the adult female and the 3 youngsters I had seen a few weeks ago, the young birds looked pretty much the same size as the adult bird but just a tad paler.

Another species of interest was the 9x Spanish (Yellow) Wagtails (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae) including 4 immature birds which confirmed that the species breed locally, surprisingly the first time I have noticed this.
