Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.

Another Early Mornig walk around the fields.
Ebird List.

I parked at the usual spot and then walked out as far as the Huétor Junction and then walked to the bridge and back along the Arroyo and the fields again to the car.
Dawn across the fields.
Interesting species included Western Cattle Egret (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis), Turtle Dove (Tórtola Europea / Streptopelia turtur), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Hoopoe (Abubilla / Upupa epops), European Bee-eater (Abejaruco Común / Merops apiaster), Iberian  Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki), Woodchat Shrike (Alcaudón Común / Lanius senator), Melodious Warbler (Zarcero Común / Hippolais polyglotta), Nightingale (Ruisenor Común / Luscinia megarhynchos), Cetti's Warbler (Ruisenor Bastardo / Cettia cetti) and a good number of Spanish (Yellow) Wagtails (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae) most of which were immature birds.
A few of the masses of Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus) which were feeding on the harvested cereal and Lucerne fields.
Spotless Starlings (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor) feeding on the Lucerne Fields.
As I walked I also saw Clouded Yellow (Colias corceua) x3, Bath White (Pontia daplidice) x5 and Long-tailed Blue (Lampides baeticus) x1.
