After the unexpected rain (31mm) and cool temperature (16C) of yesterday, today was a little more summery. A walk from Estacion de Gaucin to the Buitreras gorge from 1030-1300hrs produced the following of note:
Griffon Vulture, Short-toed Eagle, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Common Kestrel, Great-spotted Woodpecker,
European Bee-eater, Common Kingfisher, Blue Rock Thrush, lots of
Alpine Swift,
Red-rumped Swallow, Crag Martin, Serin and
Rock Bunting. Green Woodpecker and Golden Oriole were heard.

There were quite a few Damselflies and Dragonflies around, too, including these two (I'm no expert so hope I'm right!):

Copper Demoiselle Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis

Small Pincertail Onychogomphus forcipatus
