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 01 January 2015, Gaucin, sunny, calm air-light SE wind, 16C
A cold start to the year, just 4C at 0900hrs, but warming up to a pleasant 16C. At least two Common Crossbill on the pines opposite the petrol station mid-morning. An indication of our mild winter to date is that there have only been up to 3 Blackcap in the Calle Convento/Calle del Pino gardens and no Siskin, Hawfinch or other rarer winter visitors seen.
