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
Sunday 07 April, Gaucin, partly cloudy, calm air-light SE wind, 15C: Five Stork sp. flying to NW of El Hacho at about 1200hrs, probably Black Stork but just too far away to be certain; 40+ Griffon Vulture milling around above Sierra Espartina and 100+ Swift feeding high above the south of the village, including at least two Alpine Swift. Down the Camino de Gibraltar from 1700-1800hrs there were at least two, possibly three Nightingale in song in the valley to the left; also, two Firecrest in the cork oaks at the top of the track, a male Marsh Harrier flying North low in front of Sierra Crestellina, Short-toed Eagle, Booted Eagle, Sparrowhawk and Great-spotted Woodpecker; Cetti's Warbler was heard.
