After around an hour and a half I decided to push on and make for my second site for the Chat, on the way I added
Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus),
Short-toed Snake Eagle (Culebrera Europeo / Circaetus gallicus) and once on site I picked up Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata),
Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa),
Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus) and eventually a Bush Robin which came up onto a distant length of chain-link fence and sang for a moment before disappearing into the vines. |

I returned to the car and then drove back towards home but went on to Moraleda where I had some breakfast at El Cruz and then visited Balsa de Regidor where I checked the margins which were more exposed than usual finding 8 Black-winged Stilt (Ciguenuela Común / Himantopus himantopus), Common (Andarrios Chico / Actitis hypoleucos) x1 and

Western Jackdaw (Grajilla occidental / Corvus monedula) which flew over and a group of 6
