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
Friday 06 July, sunny, 34C: Whilst down on the coast a quick mid-morning visit to the Sotogrande lagoon produced 2 Purple Swamp Hen, 1 Little Egret, 6 Little Grebe, several Monk Parakeet, Red-rumped Swallow, Barn Swallow and a family of Lesser Kestrel (2 adults and 2 chicks) on the old tower. Later, back in Gaucin there were impressive numbers of Swift with several hundred, including at least two Alpine Swift, feeding high up from 2100-2200hrs.
