Thursday 01 March, Gaucin, mostly sunny am, clouding over pm, cooler in the fresh SW wind, 15C: An hour's watching from the terrace of the house from 1500-1600hrs produced one sub-adult Egyptian Vulture (mobbed by a Sparrowhawk), one Short-toed Eagle, one Bonelli's Eagle (patrolling below Sierra Crestellina) one Common Buzzard and my first Common Swift of the summer as well as a group of four Barn Swallow - not bad!
