Hi guys,

Probably booking a holiday to Crete next year and wondering if anyone could recommend a decent field guide to the island, or the area?

Thanks,

It appears that the only field guide by Stephanie Coghlan is out of print.
However there are some web sites worth a visit :
Birding in Greece on line guide see p208
Fat Birder Crete
Into Crete
Birds of Crete
Honey Guides Crete Birding Reports
Crete Birding Facebook Group
Although I've been to Crete many years ago, unfortunately that was before Birding, though I hope that this info helps.

Hi Nige,

The Coghlan guide is still pretty good and worth having if you can get a copy. We've spent the last week of April this year and last on Crete and used it to good effect. Try ABE books. I picked up a copy for a tenner. If you're stuck, give me a shout and I'll lend you mine.

Thanks both for your replies, even though they were 3 years ago! I'm not sure why I missed the replies, but we didn't end up going.

However we are planning on booking for next year, so will have a look at those books\links unless there has been any updates?

Thanks,

Nige
