Wingspan in Gaucin - Jan 7th - 10th 2011

Friday 7th was a complete wash out! Paul called round at 8am and we set off for the top of the Sierra Bermeja, it was dull and cloudy and it looked likely to rain. At the top of the mountain the cloud shrouded the peaks and it began to drizzle. We parked up and walk 2km to the summit in thick cloud, as we reached the top the rain began. We got soaked and never saw a bird!!

At the coast it looked a little better so we drove down to Estapona and along the coast to Casares, the rain was worse there, so we gave up and headed for home.

Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th - both days were cloudy, cold with outbreaks of rain so no walking!

Monday 10th - hooray! the good weather has returned, a bright sunny day with uninterrupted sunshine and a nice temperature. An afternoon walk down the Camino Gibraltar produced all the usual suspects, with many of the Blackcaps in song.

I photographed a Speckled Wood butterfly (the only species I saw) and a couple of plants. The only raptor I saw was a Common Kestrel..
