Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

A couple of stops down the fields again.
Ebird List for the Town Fields.
Ebird List for Lucerne Fields.
 
An approaching Shower.
I started the day by popping to the bank, then to Loja to visit the Water Company and get the Oil changed on the car before going to check the fields by the Town where I found nearly 70 Northern Lapwings (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus), 47 Eurasian Stone Curlews (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus), Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), European Stonechat (Tarabilla Europea / Saxicola rubicola) and European Goldfinch (Jilguero Europeo / Carduelis carduelis).
After a while I went up to the Lucerne Fields and walked out to Walnut Trees seeing Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), 3 more Eurasian Stone Curlews, Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Eurasian Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis) and Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata), Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra), Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis), Common Waxbill (Estrilda Ondulada / Estrilda astrild),  Cetti's Warbler (Cetia Ruiseñor / Cettia cetti), Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea), European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris) and Common Linnet (Pardillo Común / Linaria cannabina). 
During the walk I also saw 4x Small Whites (Pieris rapae), Field Marigold (Calendula arvensis) and Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima).
The wind was getting stronger as I walked and a few showers started to arrive so I headed home, as the day went on the wind got worse but we had a lot less rain than expected.
