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 14 January 2016, Gaucin, mostly sunny, light W-NW wind, 18C
At this time of year a scan of a large expanse of clear blue sky often results in a frustrating blank but there can, however, be rewards; yesterday turned up a House Martin and a Short-toed Eagle but a quick look just before 15:00hrs today trumped them both as a splendid juvenile Golden Eagle graced my view. Judging by the amount of white remaining in the wings it was probably a first-winter individual. Picked up just east of El Hacho mountain, it was heading roughly north-west so most likely came from the direction of Sierra Crestellina.
