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 05 October, Gaucin, mostly sunny, calm air-light E-SE wind, 25C: A walk along Camino de Avedin from 0945-1015 produced 3 Firecrest, 3 Great-spotted Woodpecker, Eurasian Jay, European Nuthatch, Chiffchaff sp., Sardinian Warbler and a group of 9 Long-tailed Tit. All of the Pied Flycatcher seem to have moved on. During the early afternoon there were both Booted Eagle and Short-toed Eagle patrolling below the village to the south and a male Blue Rock Thrush along the rooftops in Calle Convento. A surprise sighting at 1750hrs was 15 Honey Buzzard passing E-W just to the north-west of Gaucin in front of Sierra del Hacho - this is the latest date that I've seen them here; perhaps they were held up by the poor weather conditions further north.
