Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

Some more from the car birding.
Ebird List.
 
A rare patch of blue sky over the fields.
After a wet morning the sun came out for a short while so I went down to the fields and sat in the car and watched the antics of the Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) again, all three males are now getting more actively territorial but just the one seems to have the pulling power at the moment and is holding onto all 5 females.
Looking out west to the next batch of rain.
As I was enjoying the Bustards I also saw 
Black-winged Kite (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Eurasian Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis), Zitting Cisticola (Cistícola Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Western House Martin (Avión Común Occidental / Delichon urbicum), Red-rumped (Golondrina Dáurica / Cecropis daurica) and Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica), Cetti's Warbler (Cetia Ruiseñor / Cettia cetti), Spanish (Yellow) Wagtail (Lavandera Boyera / Motacilla flava iberiae), Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra), Western Dappled (Euchloe crameri) x3 and Small White (Pieris rapae) x9 and Clouded Yellow (Colias croceus) x5.
