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 09 March, Gaucin, mostly cloudy, rain pm, 9L/m2 during the day up to 1900hrs, light W-SW wind, 12C: A few more migration sightings with a single Black Kite over the village at 1410hrs and a male Marsh Harrier at 1500hrs; agian, a steady passage of Barn Swallow throughout the day. At 1600hrs there was a female Blue Rock Thrush on the roofs in Calle Alta and at 1630hrs a pair of Black Redstart and a Grey Wagtail around Callejon del Pino. I had reports of larger numbers of Black Kite passing over Jimena de la Frontera this morning so perhaps the main passage is currently slightly further west.
