I've driven that road a few times ..... and have never noticed this decoy!

An overactive imagination? Too much cerveza San Miguel? Or perhaps simply a loose binocular prism?
Incidentally, the prey item is a full adult (at least 15 year old) specimen of Quicksetticus concretea - commonly found throughout Spain but particularly prevalent on the coast.

Yes we were on the Los Barrios/San Roque road, we go to this spot regularly and have never noticed it before. Glad it was not me who placed it on this very high pylon.
Thank you all
