Another evening visit to a spot near the Presa for Owls and the Stars.
Paqui and I went to a spot near the Presa to chill for a while after a busier day than expected, we arrived and set up the chairs.
The most obvious species when we arrived were European Bee-eaters (Abejaruco Europeo / Merops apiaster), with a flock of around 40 birds heading to roost in some riverside trees.

Whilst there we could hear lots of calling Perez's Frog (Rana Común / Pelophylax perezi) down in the river below us, after dark we headed back to my place, on the way we saw a couple more Red-necked Nightjars.
