Bird Watching at Chateau de Gurat

People are always amazed by the amount of wildlife around the Chateau. Luckily, last spring we were fortunate to have an passionate twitcher come and stay for a week.

I asked if I could have a list of what was seen during the week, this is the results (plus a number of unidentified LBJs!):

Barn Owl Hoopoe Great Tit
Blackbird Jay Green Woodpecker
Blackcap Magpie Pied Wagtail
Black Redstart House Martin Swallow
Blue Tit Nightingale Nuthatch
Cirl Bunting Golden Oriole Skylark
Chaffinch Woodpigeon Buzzard
Chiffchaff Robin Kestrel
Carrion Crow House Sparrow Sparrowhawk
Cuckoo Starling Back Kite
Collared Dove Swift Red-Black Shrike
Turtle Dove Treecreeper Marsh Tit
Goldfinch Garden Warbler Hen Harrier
Greenfinch Melodious Warbler  
Grey Heron Great Spotted Woodpecker  

Many thanks to Steve Morris for compiling this list.
