Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.

A quick visit to the local patch for the first time in a while.
Ebird List for the Lucerne Fields.
Ebird List for the Town Fields.
 
Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua).
I got up and started to sort through all the stuff I bought back from the UK but after a while I went down town to sort a few bit and then on the way back I made a quick visit to the Lucerne Fields where I parked at the usual spot and then drove around the Lucerne fields seeing Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Gavilán Común / Accipiter nisus), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Cetti's Warbler (Cetia Ruiseñor / Cettia cetti), Eurasian Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Curruca capirotada), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Curruca melanocephala), Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), European Stonechat (Tarabilla Europea / Saxicola rubicola), Eurasian Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis) and Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata), Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra), House Sparrow (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), European Goldfinch (Jilguero Europeo / Carduelis carduelis) and European Serin (Serin Verdecillo / Serinus serinus).
Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra).
I drove around to the fields near the fields near the town where I added Eurasian Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus), Northern Lapwings (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus), Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), Western Jackdaw (Grajilla occidental / Corvus monedula), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros) and Common Linnet (Pardillo Común / Linaria cannabina).
Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra).
I returned to the house and continued to put things away when I got a message from friends Juan and Beatriz to say that they were down on the Lucerne Fields so I popped down to see them for a chat as I hadn't seen them for a while and to catch up with the Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) they were watching.
Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus).
Later in the day I stacked a tonne of logs before I headed down to Barbara and Derek Ethertons place near Malaga as we were heading out birding in the morning, I arrived and after a catch up we had a nice glass of Doom Bar and Pizza before hitting the sack.
