Tuesday 08 June: 3 Common buzzards over the village at 1030 including a very pale juvenile that was virtually white from below except for dark carpal patches and some darkening to the primaries, lesser coverts and neck/head.

Sunday 06 June, Camino de Gibraltar, 1900hrs, clear but hazy skies: At one point I saw Honey buzzard, Red-billed chough and Booted eagle in the same binocular view! Excellent close-up views of pale phase Booted eagle and Short-toed eagle. The choughs passed in front of the village only about 25m from the houses. Oh, there was a pair of Stonechats, too!

Friday 04 June, 1130hrs, clear skies, little or no wind: 3 Honey buzzards circling around the back of Gaucin castle then heading off up the Genal valley.

Thursday 03 June, 1200hrs: with the unseasonably warm temperatures, 35C+ for the last few days, birding has been tough! but.....2 short-toed eagles over the village.

Sunday 30 May, 2215hrs: Red-necked nightjar right over the houses and gardens between Calle Convento and Calle Pino. Initially heard the distinctive 'cu-tok' call from down in the valley. Red-billed chough and Blue rock thrush behind Gaucin castle.

Thursday 27 May, 1500hrs: Short-toed eagle over the village.

Tuesday 25 May, Gaucin, 1430hrs, light SW wind: clearly still some late passage migration with 10 Honey buzzards passing over the village.
