Wednesday 23 January, Gaucin, mostly cloudy, light-fresh W-NW wind, 9C: A rather chilly wintry day, by Gaucin standards, anyway. A morning visit to tracks/fields near Algatocin wasn't too productive but good views of a flock of about 10 Siskin was a nice reward. Also seen were Griffon Vulture, a distant Peregrine, Common Kestrel, Song Thrush, Robin, Meadow Pipit, White Wagtail, Black Redstart, Stonechat, Chiffchaff sp., Serin, Chiffchaff, Goldfinch.

Just a dusting of snow on the aptly-named Sierra de las Nieves
