Thursday 11 July 2013, Gaucin, mostly sunny, light E-NE wind, 30C.

Back in Spain after a week in the UK (Berks/Wilts/Somerset) where it was sunny and temperatures reached 29C. Other than enjoying the many Red Kite and scanning the Swifts for a stray Pallid or Alpine I didn't do much birding; it was great, though, to have breakfast outside listening to a Skylark. Here in Gaucin the only change I've noted so far is the presence of European Bee-eater nearer the village, presumably beginning to disperse away from their breeding sites.
