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
Thursday 06 March 2014, Gaucin, mostly sunny, light SE wind, 21C
A beautiful Spring day ideal for watching migrant raptors, apart from the change in wind direction which seems to have pushed them all westward! There are now 2 Short-toed Eagle patrolling their territory just south of the village and mid-afternoon there was a flock of 40+ House Martin in the same area. Barn Swallow numbers up to 6+ in front of Hotel Fructuosa and around lunchtime there was a Peregrine, visible from Calle Convento, swooping in and out of a small group of Griffon Vulture that were circling the summit of El Hacho.
