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
Saturday 26 January, Gaucin, mostly sunny, light W-NW wind, 14C: After a couple of days of persistent light-moderate rain, back to sunshine today. At 0900hrs the first House Martin of the year appeared in the village with two over Callejon del Pino and later one flying along Calle Convento! A visit to the west slope of El Hacho produced the usual suspects Griffon Vulture, Common Kestrel, Southern Grey Shrike (further west than normal, towards El Puerto del Negro), Blue Rock Thrush, Black Redstart, Cirl Bunting, Stonechat, Blackcap, Goldfinch, Chaffinch and Greenfinch. Also seen were a Red Fox (cubs heard, too) and two female Spanish Ibex.
