Saturday 30 June, sunny, light-fresh NW wind, 28C: Thankfully cooler today (never satisfied!) in the NW wind but little to report on the bird front....an Alpine Swift with a small Common/Pallid Swift flock just to the south of Gaucin at 1730hrs and a Sparrowhawk drifting around in the same area at 1930hrs. Common Buzzard calling from down in the valley to the south of the village during the afternoon.
