Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

Out for a mornings birding with friends Barbara, Derek and John.
Ebird List, 33 Species.

Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis).
I met Barbara and Derek Etherton and John Cantelo up at the Hotel Cortijo de Tajar where we had coffee, some breakfast and a catch up as it had been a good few years since I had seen John before heading out onto the fields, best species were Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus) x25, Green Sandpiper (Andarrios Grande / Tringa ochropus), a pair of Black-winged Kites (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus), Golden Eagle (Águila Real / Aquila chrysaetos), Northern Goshawk (Azor Común / Accipitor gentillis), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis), Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica) x25+, Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis) and Tree Sparrow (Gorrión Molinero / Passer montanus).
After just over two hours I said goodbye to the others who headed off to the El Temple area and I made my way home and then to Loja for an appointment.
