I met Juan at the usual place at the Embalse before we relocated to another spot nearby where we met Javier who had found Granada Provinces first confirmed record of
Lesser-spotted Woodpecker (
Pico Menor / Dryobates minor) a few days earlier. We spent the next few hours searching and listening for the bird but without success unfortunately.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9lDp776OyJf862nMLaEvSY73L1Q2U-V0zq8boH0TnB_QwXkFnyWpyVLRQdA54GVd7V5BPkvn2_2uym_NWBkRkb6b62OxheYQr5lfDQru3jRe4AF6vMZcwc_JjiYoWH5M2jZRDC8xPzXRGA4knCLfUJ752rOOf_vPr10FW0tQHHzd8kgUJ2cDsAnTrfM/w640-h516/20th-Feb-24-2.jpg) |
