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 20 August, mostly sunny, light E-SE wind, 34C: Not much to report after another couple of days with the temperatures in the mid-30s and above. Whilst having breakfast a very tame male Sardinian Warbler flew onto our grapevine, just 1m from the table, and started munching the grapes. This morning I saw both parents taking food into the Red-rumped Swallow nest at Loma de Avedin so it's looking good. A quick stop on the way back from Ronda logged a Southern Grey Shrike and a juvenile Black-eared Wheatear and further on towards Algatocin, a Black Wheatear flew across the road. Plenty of Bee-eater about and a scattering of Common Swift and House Martin. 10 Honey Buzzard N-S over the village at 2030hrs.
