| Blue Rock Thrush |
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
Thursday 21 March, Gaucin, partly cloudy, light W wind,14C: First day of Spring and, though cool, there was no rain. Driving back from the coast at about 1030hrs the two Goshawk were flying along the Genal valley on the Casares side of the river bridge and there were a couple of Short-toed Eagle around, too. Throughout the day there were at least two, sometimes three Short-toed Eagle around the south of the village and four flew through at height mid-morning. Swift sp. numbers are up to 30+ with at least one pair of Pallid and there were two male Blue Rock Thrush on the roofs around Calle Convento/Calle del Pino during late morning, one in full song; it's the first time I've seen them singing and displaying so openly within the populated parts of the village.
