Sunday 25 November, Gaucin, mostly cloudy, light E-SE wind, 14C: Not much to report as I've been doing a lot of walking rather than birding! There's been a Tawny Owl calling most nights just south of the village. I was told that an Eagle Owl was heard near the castle on Friday evening so I went up there at dusk today; after a 30min wait it duly called a couple of times at about 1900hrs but didn't appear. It's good to know that they are still around despite the fact that the rocks below the castle are now a favoured climbing area.
