Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

Some earlier than usual Winter arrivals.
Ebird List.

Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) some of the 15 seen.
I was down nice and early when it was still nice and cool, the main species of interest was a group of at least 15 Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) which are back on the patch a couple of weeks earlier than normal.
