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 16 August, hazy sunshine, light E-SE wind, 35C: A change of wind direction and, despite several watches, there was no raptor migration over Gaucin. Local adult Short-toed Eagle and pale morph Booted Eagle were seen as well as a group of 60+ Bee-eater, a handful of Common Swift and House Martin and a couple of Barn Swallow.
