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
Sunday 01 March 2015, Gaucin, partly cloudy, light W-NW wind, 20C
A steady flow of Short-toed Eagle moving through today with at least 12 between 1200hrs and 1300hrs; 64 Black Kite at 1330hrs and a single Black Stork at 1430hrs. One or two of the Short-toed Eagle were still in the area late afternoon suggesting that they may be local breeders. Also in the air....Griffon Vulture, Common Buzzard, Peregrine, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Common Kestrel and Common Raven (being mobbed by the Sparrowhawk).
