Lunch at Paqui's and then setting some Moth lights up on Cerro Hacho.
Dave and I checked the traps in the garden (previous post) and then caught up with some Laptop work, later we went down to Paqui's for a very nice lunch; thanks Paqui.

| The Oak tree trap (which was the least successful, probably due to predation of the Moths. |
After a while we went back up to my place and early in the evening went up to Cerro Hacho where we set up 4 of Dave's traps.

| Pine tree Trap. |
As we were walking around the area we saw
Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus),
Eurasian Golden Oriole (Oropéndola Europea / Oriolus oriolus),
European Bee-eater (Abejaruco Europeo / Merops apiaster),
European Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula),
Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula),
Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Curruca melanocephala),
Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs),
Lang's Short-tailed Blue (Leptotes pirithous),
Southern Brown Argus (Aricia cramera) and
Striped Grayling (
Hipparchia fidia).

Once the traps were all in place we went off down to Huétor where we had hoped to meet Paqui again for drinks and food but unfortunately she was not feeling very good so decided not to join us sadly.
