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 14 November 2015, Gaucin, mostly cloudy, light E-SE wind, 15C
No sooner had I said that there were no winter species around, than an afternoon stroll along the tracks just north of Gaucin produced both Brambling (a single femail) and Siskin! There were small roaming mixed flocks of Chaffinch, Brambling, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Crested Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Firecrest, Siskin and Serin, Also seen were Griffon Vulture, Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel, Eurasian Jay, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Black Redstart, European Robin, 5 Common Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Sardinian Warbler.
