I started with a walk along the Arroyo Vilano from the Walnut Trees out as far as the old dammed site, during the walk I saw singles of Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) and Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), the usual pair of Black-winged Kites (Elanio Común / Elanus caeruleus), 2x Little Owls (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Iberian Magpie (Rabilargo Ibérico / Cyanopica cooki), Zitting Cisticola (Cistícola Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica), Cetti's Warbler (Cetia Ruiseñor / Cettia cetti), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), European Stonechat (Tarabilla Europea / Saxicola rubicola), Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Gorrión Molinero / Passer montanus), Corn Bunting (Escribano Triguero / Emberiza calandra) and a nice Common Reed Bunting (Escribano Palustre / Emberiza schoeniclus).

I got back to the car and went for a look along the Rio Genil to the East of the bridge, a Lesser-spotted Woodpecker (Pico Menor / Dryobates minor) was the best bird but it was only heard unfortunately and always distantly. 

Other species were Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Great Spotted Woodpecker (Pico Picapinos / Dendrocopos major), Iberian Magpie, Eurasian Blue (Herrerillo Común / Cyanistes caeruleus) and Long-tailed Tit (Mito Común / Aegithalos caudatus), Eurasian Wren (Chochin paleártico / Troglodytes troglodytes), Eurasian Tree Sparrow and Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea).

I moved over to the Western side of the bridge where I had a single Eurasian Penduline Tit (Pájaro Moscón / Remiz pendulinus) but nothing else new, so I headed home and got a bit more decorating done.
