I only stayed our for a couple of hours and despite the wind I listed the following species at one of my favourite places along the Rio Guadiaro near Estacion de Cortés.

| RED-VEINED DARTER |
The best bird seen was a WRYNECK, this bird called several times before showing itself on the bare branches of a tree on the opposite bank.

On the river a few family parties of White Wagtails fed on shingle banks as did at least 8 Little Ringed Plovers, a single Grey Wagtail and a couple of Common Kingfishers also turned up.
In the hedgerows a few Blackcaps were still singing but Cetti's Warbler and Common Nightingale were noticeably silent.
Raptors overhead included Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Griffon Vultures and a Eurasian Sparrowhawk.
Other species seen were: Serin, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Chaffinch, European Bee-eaters, Pallid Swift, Woodchat Shrike and Common Stonechats.
