After the appointment I headed home calling in at Viveros Cambil where I got some plants for the pots back home. 

Whilst putting some new plants into pots I heard and then saw a Cetti's Warbler (Cetia Ruiseñor / Cettia cetti) which was a new species for the garden.

Later in the day I drove down to Malaga Airport to pick Mom and John up who were coming over for a couple of weeks, on the way down I saw Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua) on the fields and a Red-necked Nightjar (Chotacabras Cuellirrojo / Caprimulgus ruficollis) which flew over the Motorway near the Salar exit.
