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

Whilst walking between San Martin de Tesorillo and Castellar de la Frontera at 0800hrs there was a great sighting in the form of a juvenile European Roller. The bird was perched on a telegraph wire and stayed for a couple of minutes before flying about 200m to another wire. This bird may be connected to the adult seen earlier in the month although they were about 5km apart. Walking up the old road to Castellar through the cork oaks there were at least 4 Bonelli's Warbler still singing.
