Monday 04 June, Gaucin, light W wind, sunny, hot, 28C: Not much to report for the last few days. It has been very warm, 34C nearer the coast today, and I've had other things to do after being away for a week! A couple of Red-billed Chough flew across the valley just to the south of the village; the Swifts are here in great numbers, enjoying the abundance of small flies; both Cuckoo and Nightingale are singing regularly in the valley to the south; occasional Booted Eagle sightings throughout the day. Hoping to put some of my Extremadura photos up soon - there are not many good bird ones due to viewing distances and the constant heat haze!
