Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

A walk around the Lucerne Fields and a check of the Town Fields.
Ebird List for the Fields.
 
Looking out over the Lucerne Fields.
I started the day with some shopping and then once it warmed up a tad I went for a walk from the Walnut trees up to my usual parking spot and then back past the car along the track to the goat yard.
The newly cleared Arroyo Vilano, could be good in the future but s**t at the moment.

A distant Black-winged Kite (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus).
I worked my way back to Huétor and then came back to the house via the Town Fields where there were several people working out on the different areas which meant most of the birds had gone, I added just a couple of Northern Lapwings (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus) and Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa) before I headed home.
