Birdwatch Gaucin

The aim of this blog is to record bird sightings in and around Gaucin. We have a fantastic variety of birds that live in and visit the area and it would be great to have somewhere where we can publish observations for others to see. If you'd like to contribute on a regular basis please ask and I can add you as an author or send me your sightings or other observations by email pmconvento@gmail.com (the usual stuff...date, bird, location, etc.) and I'll add them to the blog. Happy birding! Paul

Sunday 28 February 2016, Gaucin, partly cloudy, light W-SW wind, 13C

A chilly day, with a threat of rain/sleet during late afternoon when a visit to the Rio Genal below Gaucin was rewarded with 2 Eurasian Hoopoe; presumably they are moving through northwards as I haven't seen them at this location during the winter. Also seen were Short-toed Eagle, Great Cormorant, Green Woodpecker, Black Redstart, Stonechat, Grey Wagtail, White Wagtail, Common Chiffchaff and 3 Hawfinch.
