Crete is a wild and amazing island; the high mountains close to the sea left me speechless. Thank to goats, woods are mostly absent and only on the steep cliffs some conifers survive in a way they seem falling down. I have been there to study wintering raptors but the resident ones are more impressive: I have seen lammergeiers in different places, many golden eagles, the Bonelli’s eagle, the goshawk and a lot of griffon vultures. In particular on my last day there I saw one griffon in the nest. The place, that has remained in my mind and eyes, is Kofinas where I watched the best sunset I ever seen.
