7- DAY TOUR - DAY 1 - 15TH APRIL 2012

GAUCIN - GRANADA - MALAGA - GAUCIN

I had a busy day today!!!! I left Gaucin at 6am to collect Kenneth & Katherine from Granada in the centre of Granada, they are from Toronto and will be joining us for a week. We then drove to Malaga Airport to meet Ken & Margaret arriving from the UK. and they are also staying for a week.

We all then set off for a quick look at the Desembocadura at the Rio Guadalhorce, It was clear but a cold was blowing quite strongly. We limited our visit to viewing from the embankment where we saw Kentish Plover, Common Sandpiper, Yellow-legged Gull, Goldfinch, Spotless Starling, Serin, Zitting Cisticola, Barn Swallow, House Martin and Pallid Swift.

We made the usually stop at Sierra Crestellina on the way up to Gaucin from the coast, there, despite the windy conditions, we found several Griffon Vultures, Corn Bunting, Stonechat and great views of a Bonelli's Eagle which eventually flew down to its nest (eyrie?). We noticed a group of vultures landing on the hillside behind us, so we turned the bus around and headed off to see them, unfortunately they all flew off as we approached. There was a carcass of a sheep left lying there.

We then spent a little time at the Rio Genal where we found Grey Wagtail, Chaffinch and we heard Cetti's Warbler, Cirl Bunting, Wren and Robin. Rain drove us off, we ended up at Gaucin at 4pm and called it a day.

We all assembled at 7:30pm for one of Dawn's delicious dinners, now the group of 6 (with Ivan and Muriel) had met up in readiness for the offical start of the tour tomorrow morning - watch this space.
