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
Wednesday 06 March, Gaucin, cloudy, occasional light rain, light-fresh W-SW wind, 11C: In the 24hr period from 0800hrs Wednesday to 0800hrs Thursday a minimum of 45L/m2 rain fell, 35L/m2 of it during the early hours of Thursday. Wednesday was another grey day but at least there was an opportunity to try and positively ID the early swift, except it didn't show! There were at least 35 House Martin around the southern fringes of the village and one or two Barn Swallow just NE of the old convent. During the morning 40+ Griffon Vulture headed west after leaving their overnight roost on Sierra Crestellina.
