Saturday 04 May, Gaucin, mostly sunny, light E-NE wind, 16C: A late afternoon walk with Janys to check out another section of the canal at Castellar. As well as some superb flowers in the fields, see photo, we logged Griffon Vultute, a pair of Black Kite (most likely breeding rather than migrating), Booted Eagle, White Stork, Woodchat Shrike, European Bee-eater, Firecrest (heard), Zitting Cisticola, Common Nightingale (several heard), Sardinian Warbler and Corn Bunting. Earlier in the afternoon there was some light passage of Honey Buzzard along the Genal valley in front of Sierra Crestellina with three or four small groups of 1-3 birds moving through.
