I got a few jobs done around the house then checked the Moth Trap before popping down to see Paqui for a minute on the Lucerne Fields, I then went to the Bank and finally called in at the fields near town where I found some of the wintering Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), only 5 birds but its the first time I have seen them in a while.
