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
Monday 24 March 2014, Gaucin, sunny, light NW wind, 20C
A Common Cuckoo was calling from just South of Gaucin from 0730-0830hrs. At 1230hrs a group of 7 Black Kite passed high over the centre of the village (they were very high, I only picked them up because I was checking a lower, but still quite high, group of Griffon Vulture); at 1300hrs there was an unusual sight of 45 Great Cormorant high over the Rio Genal just South-East of Gaucin - they circled for a few minutes before heading upstream. During the afternoon there were at least 2 Short-toed Eagle and one pale morph Booted Eagle and a Common Kestrel around to the South of the village.
