AVITOPIA - Birds of Crete

By Wolfgang Daunicht

The Mediterranean island of Crete is an amazingly rich destination for birdwatchers. The long and high mountain range over the entire length of the island forces many migratory birds to interrupt their journey. In addition, there are many interesting native bird species to discover. In Crete, there is a national park (Lefka Ori) which includes the world-famous Samaria Gorge, the largest contiguous forest area in Crete and the only high desert in Europe. In addition, the National Park is home to some pairs of the rare Bearded Vultures. This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the entire bird life of Crete in color. As a bonus, links to HD videos of more than 135 bird species and to audios of 70 species are included. Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
