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

An afternoon stroll to see if Friday's Hoopoe was still around drew a blank, but in its area there were some very smart male Linnet and the usual selection of Black Redstart, Sardinian Warbler and Serin. Just as I was about to arrive back at the hospital I had a quick look at a 'sparrow' that was sunning itself on a small rock in the manicured gardens of a small apartment complex only to be thrilled to see that it was a Wryneck - what a stunning little bird and a great find, and where was my camera?!
