A trip down to Malaga Airport to pick up Sue and Dave who were flying in from Australia.
Sue and Dave, Day one.
Ebird List for the Fields.
I started the day by doing a tad of gardening, painting, cleaning to get the place finished off ready for Sue and Dave who would be arriving later at Malaga from Doha which was a stop over on their way here from Adelaide in South Australia.
I had spent a few days birding with Sue and Dave whilst I was staying with Deb and Ian who had been over earlier in the year for 9 weeks and I was looking forward to showing them around southern Spain.
I drove down later than expected as there had been a 2 hour delay in Doha but picked them up at around 17:15 and we headed back up to the house.
After settling in we popped down to the fields for a short walk seeing Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), European Bee-eater (Abejaruco Europeo / Merops apiaster), Woodchat Shrike (Alcaudón Común / Lanius senator), Zitting Cisticola (Cistícola Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata), Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), European Stonechat (Tarabilla Europea / Saxicola rubicola), Common Waxbill (Estrilda Ondulada / Estrilda astrild), European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris), European Serin (Serin Verdecillo / Serinus serinus) and Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra).
We returned to the house and spent a very nice evening up on the terrace with a few drinks and some food.
