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
Tuesday 06 March, 1130hrs, Gaucin, light N-NE wind, partly cloudy, 19C: Whilst driving down to the coast a group of what appeared to be Griffon Vulture were circling above Las Limas; I pulled over and had a look through my binoculars to find that the 11 birds were in fact 3 Griffon Vulture and 8 Black Stork. These were the first Black Stork that I have seen in the Gaucin area and would have been heading North to their breeding grounds. Also in the area was a Short-toed Eagle.
