Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.*

A short walk around the fields before getting a bit of shopping.
Ebird List.
 
Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax).


With my car up in Cuenca still I was luck that friends Christine and Wayne said I could borrow their car so I popped into the fields on my way down to Mercodona where I parked and walked the edge of the Lucerne fields down to the crossroads.
Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax).
Interesting species included 13x Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), 2x Black-winged Kite (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus), European Turtle Dove (Tórtola Europea / Streptopelia turtur), Eurasian Hoopoe (Abubilla Común / Upupa epops), European Bee-eater (Abejaruco Común / Merops apiaster), Woodchat Shrike (Alcaudón Común / Lanius senator), Spanish (Yellow) (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae) and White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba).
Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) all 13 birds.
I did a bit of shopping before heading home and then had some breakfast on the terrace where I picked up Eurasian Golden Oriole (Oropéndola Europea / Oriolus oriolus), Booted Eagle (Aguila Calzada / Aquila pennatus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Great Tit (Carbonera Común / Parus major), Iberian  Magpie (Rabilargo Ibérico / Cyanopica cooki) and Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus).
