| The incoming Rain. |
As we reached the furthest point a Rainbow formed and we became aware that more rain was on it's way in so we turned around and started to walk back a little quicker, on the way we had brief views of a Bluethroat (Ruiseñor Pechiazul / Luscinia svecica) which came up from the Irrigation channel and disappeared into the Asparagus. |

We popped to the shops and then we returned to Paqui's were we had some lunch before I headed home, on the way I briefly called in at the town fields where I saw the 10 Little Bustards again and several Eurasian Stone Curlews.
