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
Friday 19 February 2016, Gaucin, cloudy, light rain showers, light E wind, 8C
After 12mm of overnight rain, today felt very chilly in the easterly wind with a persistent light drizzle. A damp early morning dog-walk along Camino de Avedin was rewarded with 13 Hawfinch in their usual haunt at the top of a huge poplar tree and 5 Siskin feeding on 'catkins'; also Common Chiffchaff and Black Redstart plus Song Thrush, Blackbird, European Robin and Blackcap all singing; Green Woodpecker was heard. A repeat walk at 18:00hrs produced no Hawfinch but there were 3 Siskin in the same tree as this morning.
