| Sierra El Hacho, Gaucin, and Sierra Crestellina from Cerro de Galgo |
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 18 January, Gaucin, cloudy, light rain, fresh W-NW wind, 13C: Been walking in the Castellar de la Frontera area for the last couple of days; lovely walks but little time for serious birding. The highlight was great close views of a group of 70 Griffon Vulture flying above, below and around us at the top of Cerro Gordo; also seen were several Common Buzzard, Grey Heron, Cattle Egret, Little Egret, Red-legged Partridge, Lesser Kestrel, Crested Lark, Meadow Pipit, Song Thrush, large mixed flocks, 200+, of Chaffinch, Goldfinch and Linnet in the cotton fields, lots of Stonechat, Grey Wagtail, White Wagtail, Black Redstart, Chiffchaff sp., Sardinian Warbler, Blackcap, Corn Bunting and Cirl Bunting.
