Sunday 07 October, Gaucin, mostly sunny, calm air-light E-SE wind, 26C: A lovely warm autumn day but few birds to report! Short-toed Eagle and Booted Eagle still around the village, a Raven over Rosa Alta and a few House Martin. Attempted to go birding late afternoon but was thwarted at El Hacho by the presence of hunters; I then tried the river only to find the area full of families having picnics! Nice to hear a Tawny Owl calling close to the southern edge of the village at 2145hrs - the first one in a while.
