Saturday 05 January, Gaucin, sunny, calm air-light N-NW wind, 17C: Walked along the 'smugglers trail' along the Sierra Espartina ridge from 1130-1230hrs. As often seems to be the case here there were few birds around, 6 Griffon Vulture, Crested Tit, Eurasian Nuthatch, Great-spotted Woodpecker; but a female Common Crossbill in amongst a small flock of Chaffinch was a good sighting and the views back to Gaucin are worth it!
