SIERRA de LOJA.

Thursday, 11 January 2024

Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

First visit to the patch in 2024.
Ebird List, 9 Species. 

Sierra Nevada behind the Lucerne fields.
On my way back from Mercadona I called in at the fields just to the North of the town where I picked up Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus), Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus), Golden Plover (Chorlito Dorado Europeo / Pluvialis apricaia), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), House Sparrow (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus) and Feral Pigeon (Paloma Bravía / Columba livia).
Parapanda off in the distance.
I also had a walk along the Lucerne fields but didn't add anything new but did see 2 more Little Owls.
Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua).

When I got home I filled the feeders and almost straight away several Siskins (Lúgano / Carduelis spinus) arrived and in the barranco I also saw and heard Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Sylvia atricailla) and Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs).
