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 13 July, hazy sunshine, very light SE wind, 35C: Small groups of Bee-eater (5 or 6) beginning to pass over the village, mainly early morning. One ragged, moulting, Booted Eagle cruising over the south of Gaucin most of the day. Having thought that many of the Swifts had already left for Africa they have been back in great numbers the last couple of evenings - mainly Common Swift with a few Pallid amongst them.
