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 29 May, sunny, light W-SW wind, 30C: On our final morning we took a stroll around the meadows close to Navarredonda and managed to get some close-up views of up to 12 adult and juvenile Citril Finch. In this area we also saw Griffon Vulture, Honey Buzzard, Black Kite, Red Kite, Booted Eagle, Raven, a flock of 20 Common Crossbill, Rock Bunting, Rock Sparrow and a Common Whitethroat that had us all confused for a while with it's unusual song variation. And that was it, time to pack up and start the 7hr drive home to Gaucin via Madrid Barajas airport - what a great week (11 life ticks for me - including some that I really should have had by now!).
