Tuesday 18 September, Gaucin, cloudy, humid, calm air-light SW wind, 29C: It came very close to raining today but nothing materialised. Whilst biking along the Gaucin-Jimena road at 1915hrs I was surprised to hear a Garden Warbler in full song at the top of a tree at the roadside just outside Gaucin. There are still a few House Martin hanging around the village in the evenings but I haven't seen a Swift for a few days. Common Buzzard perched on a dead branch just below the village to the South this afternoon.
