Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.*

A walk around the fields.
Ebird List.

Looking back towards La Fabrica.

After giving the terrace a good clean up I went down to the fields for a walk, during the tidy up I heard both European Bee-eater (Abejaruco Común / Merops apiaster) and Eurasian Golden Oriole (Oropéndola Europea / Oriolus oriolus).
Mr and Mrs Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata).
I parked in the usual spot and then walked out to the Crossroads, turned right and then right again back along the river and back to the car along the Lucerne fields.
Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata).

Other species seen included Perez's Frog (Rana Común / Pelophylax perezi), Small White (Pieris rapae) x1, Lang's Short-tailed (Leptotes pirithous) x3 and Southern Blue (Polyommatus celina) x1. 
Quite a lot of Stubble burning today.
