Arable fields...


Hi there!

We are now well entered in autumn and the weather here lately corroborates this, with persistent rains all over the county and considerable descent of the temperatures (some mountains around have appeared this morning with a thin layer of snow).

Those circumstances favor the arrival of some migratory birds from northern Europe that will spent the winter over here or might continue their journey to southern sites.

Those pics below show a mixed group of european starlings with a dozen lapwings ,one solitary dunlin and five ruffs feeding in waterlogged arable fields close to the Pitillas reservoir.



Starlings with waders, a very regular combination in autumn/winter.


I thought that the two common snipes will show up in this pic......
