Description
Selinari is a monastery on the island of Crete that is beautifully built into the southern mountainside of the Selinari Gorge. It is very easy to reach by bus from Malia or Agios Nikolaos, and of course by car. From the bus stop or the bistro, you can observe all of the species mentioned directly in and above the rock massifs on both sides of the road. The colony of Vautour fauve comprises an estimated 10 pairs. The birds are said to be fed by the monks. The really special feature is the breeding of the Faucon de Barbarie, which I discovered there for the first time in 2024 for Greece and thus for Europe outside the Canary Islands. The Faucon de Barbarie is sympatric there with the Faucon pèlerin (subspecies brookei).
Other birds you can observe in the area are Faucon d'Éléonore, Buse féroce, Crave à bec rouge, Monticole bleu, Cigogne noire and Pigeon biset.
