| Title | March 12: Holiday and nature |
|---|---|
| We have a long week in Crete. Not for birds, but just a holiday. But yes, I have to take pictures. We didn't take nature photos every day, but a few weeds in a photo should also be possible. | |

| Title | March 13: Plants and insects |
|---|---|
| I always pay attention to what I see, plants or insects. They regularly only occur in the Mediterranean area, but there are also well-known species that we also know in the Netherlands. There is not much tourism on the coast yet, it is still too cold. | |

|---|---|
| As of today we are in a house in the hills on the south side. Today's photos from the nearby area. The Asian stone partridge is a beautiful bird, and it likes to be seen. At a distance, 50 meters in this case. | |

| Title | March 16: Planting on Crete |
|---|---|
| On Crete, plants that only occur on Crete are endemics. With my guide I went to a number of easy places to look for special orchids and other plants. There are no endemics of birds on Crete. | |

|---|---|
| We go for a walk at the Kalamafka Bridge, along the stream from the village of Kalamafka. A beautiful walk through a rural area. We had a nice meal at a local restaurant. They had already spotted our cars! | |
