Cerro Hacho, Loja, Granada Province, Spain.

A quick visit to Hacho.
 
Looking across to Sierra de Loja from Hacho.




Paqui came up to my place and then we headed up to Hacho to put out a Moth light, we set up the trap and then went up to the top car park where we set up the chairs and watched the Sun go down and the stars appear.
Looking out to the West.
Whilst there we saw and heard Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Song Thrush (Zorzal Común / Turdus philomelos), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), European Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula), Eurasian Blue (Herrerillo Común / Cyanistes caeruleus) and Great Tit (Carbonera Común / Parus major), Short-toed Treecreeper (Agateador Europeo / Certhia brachydactyla), Eurasian Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Curruca capirotada), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs) and Common Crossbill (Piquituerto Común / Loxia curvirostra).
 
 
On the way up to Hacho and on the way back we saw Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Mistle Thrush (Zorzal Charlo / Turdus viscivorus), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Curruca melanocephala) and Crested Lark (Cogujada Común / Galerida cristata).
