Monday 08 December 2014, Gaucin, sunny, calm air-light W-SW wind, 17C

Not a great deal to report.....the warm days belie cold starts; this morning it was just 4C at 0900hrs.  There were a couple of Common Crossbill in the pines opposite the petrol station at 1200hrs today, including a male in full song. There were a fair number of both Common Buzzard and Corn Bunting around near San Martin/Castellar last week as well as several Common Chiffchaff, but little else of note.
