Cerro Hacho, Loja, Granada Province, Spain.

5 species of Orchid on the walk.
Second Lock down Day 46, released to Provincial area.
 
Crested Tit (Herrerillo Capuchino / Parus cristatus).

Today I went for a walk around the loop of Hacho which took me around the quarry, as soon as I got out of the car I was being shouted at by a pair of Crested Tits (Herrerillo Capuchino / Parus cristatus) which for some reason were not at all happy with me for being there so I parked a little further along the track just too keep them happy.

In the same area I also had a singing Short-toed Treecreeper (Agateador Común / Certhia brachydactyla), Great (Carbonera Común / Parus major), Blue (Herrerillo Común / Parus caeruleus) and Coal Tit  (Carbonero Garrapinos / Parus ater) and a singing Common Crossbill (Piquituerto Común / Loxia curvirostra).
Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum Robertiana).

In the pine woods I spent quite a while taking pictures of several
Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum Robertiana) spikes to show the different colour forms that were possible to see.

Mixed in there I also found good numbers of Somber Bee Orchid (Ophrys fusca / foresteri) which also showed a good variation as well.

In the pines I also heard or saw Long-tailed Tit (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus), Iberian  Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki), Firecrest (Reyezuelo Listado / Regulus ignicapillus), Mistle Thrush (Zorzal Charlo / Turdus viscivorus) and Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula).
Somber Bee Orchid (Ophrys fusca / foresteri).
I continued on around the loop and had a Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) land on the track so I dropped down to its level and was stretched out on the track when a poor guy on a mountain bike came screaming around the corner and found me lying there. 
Somber Bee Orchid (Ophrys fusca / foresteri).
Thankfully he saw me quickly but unfortunately only had one option which was to bail into the track side bushes.
Fan-lipped Orchid (Anacamptis collina).
Thankfully the guy was OK and his bike was fine and he had a good sense of humor and came out of the bushes apologizing to me and laughing, he also spoke good English which helped to explain what I was doing and he then spent a while looking through my photo's on the back of the camera.
Fan-lipped Orchid (Anacamptis collina).
Anyway after this near miss I continued on finding a very smart Fan-lipped Orchid (Anacamptis collina) var. flavescens and a short way further on along the track I found several spikes of the more normal version of the Fan-lipped Orchid.

Along the Northern side of the Quarry I picked up
Song Thrush (Zorzal Común / Turdus philomelos), Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Corn Bunting (Triguero / Emberiza calandra), Goldfinch (Jilguero / Carduelis carduelis), Hoopoe (Abubilla / Upupa epops), Red-billed Chough (Chova Piquirroja / Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Serin (Verdecillo / Serinus serinus) and Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa).
Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus).
Along this side of the area I also found my first Southern Early Purple Orchids (Orchis olbienis), most were still in bud but I found a single plant with some open flowers, in the same area there were lots more Somber Bee Orchid as well as a few more Giants.

I reached the end of the track and walked along the road down to the track back up to the car, on the way I added Broad-leaved Iris (Iris planifolia), Field marigold (Calendula arvensis), Henbit Deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), Wild Grape Hyacinth (Muscari neglectum) and my first Sawfly Orchid (Ophrys tenthredinifera).

Alhendin in Granada, Padul and La Malaha, Granada Province.

Looking for some birds for the year list with friends.
Second Lock down Day 45, released to Provincial area.
 
I met Juan and Andrey near Alhendin and we walked out onto and area of mixed agricultural land, most of which was put down to winter cereals but surrounded by Almond and Olive groves.
We started the list by the cars with Rock Sparrow (Gorrión Chillón / Petronia petronia), Jackdaw (Grajilla / Corvus monedula) and on the first area of fields Great Spotted Cuckoo (Crialo Europeo / Clamator gladarius), Crested Lark (Cogujada / Galerida cristata), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Goldfinch (Jilguero / Carduelis carduelis), Hoopoe (Abubilla / Upupa epops), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo) and
Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula).
We took to the field edges and made for some high ground so we could scan the whole area looking for the target Long-legged Buzzard (Busardo Moro / Buteo rufinus) but it was not to be, we did however see and hear Calandra Lark (Calandria / Melanocorypha calandra), Corn Bunting (Triguero / Emberiza calandra), a group of calling Red-billed Chough (Chova Piquirroja / Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) which flew over and away West, Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Stone Curlew (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus) away in the Almond groves, Iberian Grey Shrike (Alcaudón Real Meridional / Lanius meridionalis), Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Carduelis chloris) and an Iberian Green Woodpecker (Pito Real / Picus sharpei) but only Andrey heard it calling.
Juan and Andrey headed off at this point to go and have a look around Padul Wetland but I stayed for another hour or so adding Linnet (Pardillo Común / Carduelis cannabina), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Sylvia atricailla), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor) and Common Magpie (Urraca / Pica pica).
I then got a whatsapp from Juan to say that they had an Iberian Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Ibérico / Phylloscopus brehmii) singing in Padul, so with the directions he sent I decide to have a look.
I arrived at the spot where there were lots of calling Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita) but the Iberian had gone quiet, however I did see Blue Tit (Herrerillo Común / Parus caeruleus), Spanish Sparrow (Gorrión Moruno / Passer hispaniolensis), Cetti's Warbler (Ruisenor Bastardo / Cettia cetti), Northern Shoveler (Pato Cuchara / Anas clypeata), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Eurasian Teal (Cerceta Común / Anas crecca), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra), Common Moorhen (Gallineta Común / Gallinulas chloropus), Marsh Harrier (Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental / Circus aeruginosus) and Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo).
Juan and Andrey then returned to the spot and we boosted the list with Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea), Long-tailed Tit (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus), Water Rail (Rascón Europeo / Rallus aquaticus) heard only, Great Crested Grebe (Somormujo Lavanco / Podiceps cristatus) and then went on around the board walk to the raised platform where Andrey turned around and returned home. Juan and I continued on but only added White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), Serin (Verdecillo / Serinus serinus), Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata), Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto) and then on the way back to the car an Iberian Chiffchaff  which was singing from some willow scrub.
We reached the cars and Juan headed off home and I returned to the spot for the Buzzard but came in from a different direction where from a track I had a view over the whole area and out over some more pylons which we could not see from our original spot, unfortunately I still did not find the bird but I did see a female Marsh Harrier which was hunting over the fields.
I decided after another 1.5 hours that the bird was not around so I headed home via a spot where I saw at least 12 Lesser Kestrels (Cernicola Primilla / Falco naumanni) my second year tick for the day.

Near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.
