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
Saturday 28 February 2015, Gaucin, partly cloudy, light W-NW wind, 16C
Today saw the first significant numbers of Black Kite moving through with a kettle of 77 individuals above the Rio Genal at 1415hrs and smaller groups of 9 at 1530hrs and 13 at 1610hrs. A reliable report of a Eurasian Hoopoe along the Camino de Gibraltar this morning; a bit early for a returning migrant, so perhaps an individual that over-wintered on the coast and was beginning to head north.
