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
Wednesday 29 February, Gaucin, sunny, light-fresh SE wind, 15C, 1030-1200hrs: A walk around La Umbria on the outskirts of Gaucin produced plenty of birds including Sparrowhawk, Common Kestrel, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker (heard), Song Thrush, Blackcap, Common Chiffchaff, Iberian Chiffchaff (at least 2 singing), Sardinian Warbler, Firecrest and Eurasian Nuthatch. Also several butterflies around including the lovely Spanish Festoon. A coffee stop at bar Paco Pepe saw a White Stork passing over the centre of the village.
