I then asked a farmer if I could walk the edge of the Asparagus fields over to the road, on the way I saw 3 Eurasian Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis) before I reached the road and the I headed back to the crossroads passing the Poplar Plantation and then back to the Walnut trees.
During the section I added Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica), Great Tit (Carbonera Común / Parus major), Common Linnet (Pardillo Común / Linaria cannabina), Lang's Short-tailed Blue (Leptotes pirithous) and a single Wall Brown (Lasiommata megera).
I dropped down to the fields nearer to town and checked to see if there were any birds there and I found 30 odd Eurasian Stone Curlews (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus), at least 12 Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) and a single Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus).
I popped into the garage and hoovered the inside of the car before returning to the house and catching up with a few more bits between so light showers.
