Friday 13 May: Haven't posted for a while as I've been in the UK and then Blogger was offline. Staying in Dartmouth, Devon for a week enabled me to catch up with some 'old friends', specifically Yellowhammer and Bullfinch, neither of which I've seen since moving to Spain! Also saw Northern Wheatear, Skylark, lots of Whitethroat (the hedges around the coast were alive with them) and Common Chiffchaff (but no Willow Warbler), Little Egret, Raven and Common Buzzard. On the last day managed to catch up with a Cirl Bunting; south Devon is now it's only UK stronghold. Photo, taken through binoculars so a bit shaky, shows an Oystercatcher in the midst of it's courting display.
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
