Friday 03 May, Gaucin, cloudy with light rain am, partly cloudy pm, light E-SE wind, 15C: A morning walk from Casares below the two peaks of Sierra Crestellina produced few birds due to the unexpected low cloud and rain - just a pair of calling Peregrines to report and quite a few Bee Orchid Ophrys apifera. Whilst driving down to the coast at 1600hrs a Goshawk flew over the road as it headed down to the Genal valley oppposite the north end of Sierra Crestellina. Swift numbers in the village have increased significantly this week and the Barn Swallows are once again nesting in the entrance to the post office.
