Day 6 Omalos Plateau

We are now in the north of Crete.  After the morning at Agia Lake, we drove up the long winding road to the Omalos Plateau (1200 metres) surrounded by mountains (2450 m) with patches of snow. I was treated to great views of an Eleanora's Falcon catching some small insect right above me. There were also around a dozen Griffin Vultures at one time, a Buzzard and a Golden Eagle that I didn't manage to catch in the lens. Lots of small birds at a distance (Stonechats, Northern Wheatears and Woodchat Shrike) plus lot of Wryneck calls.
