House martins, stonechats in Extremadura, Spain

After 21 April 2016 came 22 April 2016 in Extremadura, Spain. In Jaraicejo village, this spotless starling singing on a chimney.

Just outside the village, house martins gathered mud for their nests from dirt road puddles.

Two crested larks not far away.

We walk further. A hoopoe flying.

Many flowers.

As we walk back, a female and a male stonechat on a bush.

A booted eagle flying.

In the village, house martins’ nests under a roof.

We continue to the two lakelets just outside the village. In the one closest to the road, as usually, a little grebe. In the one further away from the road, two little grebes and their nest; and a coot.

We continue past lupine flowers.

Later, a red kite flying.

Bee-eaters sitting on a leafless branch.
