Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

Sitting in the car on the Patch.
Ebird List.
 
Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) male.
I decided to go down town to get a few bits and the called in at the fields on the way back, I parked and scanned the Lucerne fields and soon found the more territorial of the male Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) who was strutting around and giving it Raspberry like call regularly.
Another male and 4 females.
Off to his left I found another 7 birds, two more males and 5 females, but they were much more chilled and just sat in amongst the Lucerne and other wildflowers resting.
