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 02 May, Gaucin, partly cloudy, light E-SE wind, 16C: A walk to La Punta Umbria from 0930-1130hrs produced Griffon Vulture, 2 Common Cuckoo calling (1 seen), Eurasian Jay, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker (heard), Firecrest, Short-toed Treecreeper, 2 Eurasian Wren singing, Sardinian Warbler, 3 Bonelli's Warbler (including one of a pair carrying nest-building material) and a female Cirl Bunting also carrying nesting material. The most notable thing was that were still no Common nor Iberian Chiffchaffs singing and just a brief burst from one of the Bonelli's Warblers; also, another day with no Honey Buzzard movement.
