Huétor Fields, Town Fields and Realenga, Granada Province, Spain.

Around Huétor Tajar and at home.

Ebird List for the Lucerne Fields.

 

Forgot to put the sheet on the car.

I started the morning by getting some more logs before going for a walk along the Lucerne Fields but starting from the Walnut Trees as the new crossing has already been washed away.

Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor) and Common Woodpigeons (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus).

As I walked up to the gate at the far end and back again I recorded Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Black-winged Kite (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Iberian (Rabilargo Ibérico / Cyanopica cooki) and Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica), Western Jackdaw (Grajilla occidental / Corvus monedula), Crested (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata) and Eurasian Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis), Zitting Cisticola (Cistícola Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Cetti's Warbler (Cetia Ruiseñor / Cettia cetti), Eurasian Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Curruca capirotada), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Curruca melanocephala), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Song Thrush (Zorzal Común / Turdus philomelos), Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), European Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), European Stonechat (Tarabilla Europea / Saxicola rubicola), Common Waxbill (Estrilda Ondulada / Estrilda astrild), House (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus), Eurasian Tree (Gorrión Molinero / Passer montanus) and Spanish Sparrow (Gorrión Moruno / Passer hispaniolensis), White (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba) and Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea), Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris), European Goldfinch (Jilguero Europeo / Carduelis carduelis), European Serin (Serin Verdecillo / Serinus serinus) and Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra) 

Bird of the walk was my first Jack Snipe (Agachadiza Chica / Lymnocriptes minimus) of the winter which I accidently flushed whilst trying to get better views of a Bluethroat (Ruiseñor Pechiazul / Luscinia svecica) which dropped into a damp patch of Lucerne in a damp corner of one of the fields along the Arroyo Vilano.

I also saw Iberian Brown Hare (Liebre ibérica / Lepus granatensis), Rabbit (Conejo / Oryctolagus cuniculus) and Small White (Pieris rapae) x2.
