Tuesday 17 July, sunny, light-fresh E wind, 30C: A few more Bee-eaters about with a group of 21 passing S-N over Gaucin at 0900hrs. In the afternoon Booted Eagle, Short-toed Eagle and a male Sparrowhawk were flying to and fro, often quite low over the houses on the southern edge of the village. The Sparrowhawk is an almost daily visitor now - usually accompanied by a small entourage of Swift and House Martin! Great-spotted Woodpecker also seen flying across the edge of the village just below Calle del Pino.
