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
Tuesday 25 February 2014, Gaucin, partly cloudy, light NW wind, 11C
An unscheduled visit to Estepona (never let a dog get hold of a varifocal glasses lens!) gave me an opportunity to check out the town beach gull flock; there were 150+ Yellow-legged Gull, 30+ Black-headed Gull, one Audouin's Gull (first I've seen on the beach here, I think), at sea 100+ Yellow-legged Gull and 25+ Lesser black-backed Gull, plus a handful of Northern Gannet. In the small park near the lighthouse there were 3 Chiffchaff sp., and a couple of Black Redstart; no Crag Martin this time, presumably they have headed up to their breeding areas.
