I took the car down to Venta Nueva and walked the 7.5km back to the house over the fields via Huétor, on the way I checked the tracks to either side of the bridge along side the Rio Genil but found nothing special so I continued on up through the town and out on to the northern side of the town.

Later I spent an hour or two in the garden which has been neglected since November, so an hour or two didn't get me far but it's a start.
In the evening I was pleased to get the car back ready for some birding tomorrow.
