Near Huétor Tajar and Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

A day cleaning the Terrace after the work on the roof is finished, then a late walk with Paqui on the Fields.
Ebird List from  the Terrace.

I spent the day at home as I had eventually found some motivation to get a few jobs done, after the repairs to the roof the terrace was in a bit of a state so after filling the cracks yesterday I painter the walls first then cleaned up for the rest of the day.
During the time on the terrace I heard and saw Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto),  Iberian Magpie (Rabilargo Ibérico / Cyanopica cooki), Eurasian Blue (Herrerillo Común / Cyanistes caeruleus) and Great Tit (Carbonera Común / Parus major), Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Eurasian Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Curruca capirotada), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Curruca melanocephala), Short-toed Treecreeper (Agateador Europeo / Certhia brachydactyla), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Song Thrush (Zorzal Común / Turdus philomelos), Eurasian Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), European Stonechat (Tarabilla Europea / Saxicola rubicola), House Sparrow (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus), Grey (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea) and White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), Hawfinch (Picogordo Común / Coccotraustes coccotrauetes), European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris), Common Linnet (Pardillo Común / Linaria cannabina), European Goldfinch (Jilguero Europeo / Carduelis carduelis), European Serin (Serin Verdecillo / Serinus serinus), Vagrant Emperor (Anax ephippiger), Bath White (Pontia daplidice), Clouded Yellow (Colias croceus), Moorish Gecko (Tarentola mauritanica) and Perez's Frog (Rana Común / Pelophylax perezi).
The rising Moon.
At just after 16:00 I packed in as I was knackered but happy with how the terrace was now looking, later I headed down to Paqui's where we had a later than usual meal before popping up to the fields after dark but all we managed to see was a single Eurasian Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus) before we went back to my place for a while.
