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
Friday 07 June, Gaucin, cloudy am, occasional light drizzle, mostly sunny pm, light W-SW wind, 19C: A surprise sighting of a Little Owl on a wire as I drove down between San Pablo and Jimena de la Frontera at 1200hrs. Most of the White Stork nests at Estacion San Roque were populated with many holding one or two youngsters. A short visit to the river at Palmones produced very little (tide in, windy and heat haze!) with just a handful of Audouin's Gull and a single Curlew of note. On the journey back to Gaucin there was a White Stork just to the west of Casares; probably a stray from Jimena/San Roque rather than a migrant.
