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 19 January 2017, Gaucin, mostly cloudy, light N-NW wind, 0.4C!

Gaucin woke today to a blanket of deep snow, after more than 20cm fell overnight; anecdotally, the most for at least 35 years. Whilst no more snow fell during the day, the temperature only just struggled into positive territory. Most birds have kept a low profile, though there were at least 12 Blackcap feeding energetically on berries on a garden shrub behind Calle Convento.
