Thursday 29 November, Gaucin, sunny, light-fresh N-NW wind, 10C: A proper cool, sunny winter day; just 5C at 1000hrs and feeling colder in the fresh  breeze. A quick look around El Hacho and the fields nearby produced the usual winter species: Griffon Vulture, Southern Grey Shrike, Blue Rock Thrush, Thekla Lark, Spotless Starling, White Wagtail, Stonechat, Robin, Nuthatch, and lots of Black Redstart and Sardinian Warbler.
