Avitopia Birds Of Crete

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 90 bird species are included.

The author deals with the fauna of Crete and in particular the mammals and birds, two classes of animals which have been sufficiently studied and for which the required data exists. Other classes include the reptiles, insects, molluscs, amphibians and other animals living in the seas around Crete.
