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 21 March 2014, Gaucin, mostly sunny, calm air-light W-SW wind, 21C
On the way back from the coast at 1700hrs I stopped to check the Bonelli's Eagle nest on Sierra Crestellina; within 5 minutes I'd seen 10+ Griffon Vulture, 2 adult Egyptian Vulture, 2 adult Bonelli's Eagle and a Red Kite! The Bonelli's were flying together some way from the nest so there's presumably no egg yet....getting a bit late? Back in Gaucin at 1900hrs I finally managed to get a good look at the Swifts that were flying between Calle Convento and Calle del Pino and can confirm that they are Pallid Swift.
