Once again, a chilly start but feeling quite warm in the afternoon sunshine.
This morning Janys and I had an easy walk down by the Rio Genal - birds were curiously few and far between with a Common Kestrel and a distant view of one of the over-wintering

This afternoon I made another attempt to see Ring Ouzel on the west slope of El Hacho and, guess what....another no show! There were some interesting species, though, including 20+ Griffon Vulture,
Peregrine, Common Kestrel, Red-legged Partridge,
