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 10 July, 0830-0900hrs, Rio Genal, Gaucin: Pair of Little Ringed Plover on the shingle with at least one chick - nice to know that they are still breeding there in spite of the fact it's a regular picnic spot! Also, Red-rumped Swallow, Grey Wagtail, Golden Oriole, Cetti's Warbler and Blackcap. 0930-1015, track oppposite Sierra Crestellina: Was hoping for some warblers but other than Sardinian Warbler, no luck, but did also see Southern Grey Shrike (2), Sparrowhawk, Griffon Vulture, Short-toed Eagle, European Bee-eater, Goldfinch, Linnet and Greenfinch.
