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 08 October, Gaucin, sunny, calm air-light S-SE wind, 28C: A visit to the Rio Guadiaro at Estacion Cortes de la Frontera from 1300-1400hrs was very quiet, not surprising given the heat. The highlight was a kettle of 85+ Griffon Vulture; also seen were Short-toed Eagle (3 with the vulture kettle), Peregrine, Common Kestrel, Spotless Starling, White Wagtail, Cirl Bunting and Stonechat. The river was quite full after last week's rain and there were some inviting muddy 'beaches' but no waders taking advantage of them.
