| A mating pair of Praying Mantis Mantis religiosa - poor hymenoptera! |
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 August 2016, Gaucin, sunny, calm air-light W-NW wind, 36C
Continuing westerly winds means continuing high temperatures with both yesterday and today recording 36C in the village. Yesterday there was a Eurasian Hoopoe on the Las Pilas track above Algatocin. The upside of the westerlies is that the autumn migration is getting going with sightings of 21 Black Kite, 52 Honey Buzzard and an adult Egyptian Vulture between 18:30-19:00hrs this afternoon. Just a handful of Swifts around now, 20+ House Martin, and I haven't seen a Barn Swallow in the village for a couple of days.
