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 07 August 2013, Gaucin, sunny, light NW wind, 32C
Some relief from the heat of the past couple of days with the wind switching to a more northerly direction. I kept an eye on the skies on and off during the day but no sign of any migration. I did, however, see the first presumably 'returning' phyllosc warbler as a very bright looking individual, most likely a Chiffchaff sp. gave a very brief view as it darted deep into the folliage of the garden Walnut tree during the afternoon.
