On our fifth birding day we drove north again for just over an hour to visit the Belén plain in search of sand grouse and bustards. Again we were thwarted. A very kind landowner (cum student vet) did invite us on to his land deep in the countryside in search of the holy grail of Extrmadura. He even transported us in his 4×4 to save the suspension of the hire car. Still no luck (but we did have good views of his cattle).
It was a sunny day with light winds. However, when we returned to the Finca de Flores Amarillas and walked around the nearby countryside it was really quite warm.
The best of the birds I managed to photograph, although I did have a views of crested larks and hoopoe:
