Near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.

A couple of hours sat on the terrace.
Ebird List.

Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo).
I got a few jobs done before spending a couple of hours up on the terrace seeing if there was any passage but it was very quite and I only managed singles of Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo) and a pale morph Booted Eagle (Aguililla Calzada / Hieraaetus pennatus) raptor wise.
There were also a small number of European Bee-eaters (Abejaruco Común / Merops apiaster) and a Golden Oriole (Oropéndola / Oriolus oriolus) which were moving through.
