The aim of this blog is to record bird sightings in and around Gaucin. We have a fantastic variety of birds that live in and visit the area and it would be great to have somewhere where we can publish observations for others to see. If you'd like to contribute on a regular basis please ask and I can add you as an author or send me your sightings or other observations by email pmconvento@gmail.com (the usual stuff...date, bird, location, etc.) and I'll add them to the blog. Happy birding! Paul
Sunday 11 April: Camino de Gibraltar, 1700hrs; lovely sunny afternoon after a cool and cloudy morning. Highlight was a distant view of a pair of golden eagles above the Genal river towards the sierra de Bermeja and great views of sardinian warbler in display flight. Also, booted eagle (light phase), griffon vulture x10, serin, greenfinch, chaffinch, goldfinch, blue tit, blackbird, stonechat, 3 singing nightingales, great-spotted woodpecker, white wagtail, swallow, swift, house martin, wren and robin. Heard a group of bee-eaters flying over but couldn't see them to count!
