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

Thursday 04 February 2016, Gaucin, partly cloudy, fresh E-SE wind, 14C

After a few days with temperatures in the late teens today felt distinctly chilly in the easterly breeze. A check of the west slope of El Hacho was, by recent standards, predictably quiet! There were still plenty of Black Redstart to brighten things up plus Griffon Vulture, 2 displaying Common Raven, Red-legged Partridge, Blue Rock Thrush, 8+ Song Thrush, a flock of at least 6 Meadow Pipit, Sardinian Warbler, Blackcap, Common Chiffchaff and 4 Corn Bunting.
