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
Thursday 28 June, hazy sunshine, light SE wind, 37C: very warm again today, reaching 39C just a couple of km south of Gaucin village. The coast was cooler early afternoon (1300hrs) at about ~29C and whilst there I made a quick visit to the 'chullera' heath behind Duquesa. There wasn't a lot of activity but I did see Lesser Kestrel, Turtle Dove (heard), Woodchat Shrike, Bee-eater, Common Swift, Barn Swallow, Red-rumped Swallow, Stonechat, Sardinian Warbler, Serin and at least 200 House Martin on a couple of telegraph wires.
