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
Monday 13 August, mostly sunny, light NW wind, 34C: After a couple of very hot days the cooler air from the NW was a welcome relief. Today saw significant numbers of returning Black Kite with a total of 480 passing N-S over Gaucin between 1500 and 1600hrs. Despite watching several more times during the afternoon and evening I only picked up a solitary Black Kite and the 'local' Griffon Vultures, Booted and Short-toed Eagles.
