CIMA near Tarifa, Cadiz Province, Drive Home and Near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province.

A brief walk around a couple of traps and then off home.
Ebird List for the Terrace.
 
The morning Moth round.
We weren't up as early as planned after a later finish last night but just after 08:00 we were checking a couple of traps near to CIMA and then at just before 10:00 I said my farewells and drove back home as I needed to be back to sort things out ready for my Mom and John's departure tomorrow.
I arrived back a we spent a while up on the terrace where I saw 4x Griffon Vultures (Bultre Leonado / Gyps fulvus), Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Gavilán Común / Accipiter nisus), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Eurasian Hoopoe (Abubilla Común / Upupa epops), Iberian  Magpie (Rabilargo Ibérico / Cyanopica cooki), Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica) which could well be the first I have seen from the house, Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata), European Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula), Eurasian Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Curruca capirotada), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Curruca melanocephala), European Serin (Serin Verdecillo / Serinus serinus), European Goldfinch (Jilguero Europeo / Carduelis carduelis), European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris) and Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs).
