2 CETE BID EPOT 1999 Introduction to Crete Bird eport 1999 Thank you to all those birdwatchers who have contributed reports of their sightings, which are helping to provide an overall picture of the birds of Crete. This year we have received records mainly from the visitor's season of April to October. Sadly in May we received news that John Henshall who has been resident on the island since the early 1990's had died of a heart attack. He had worked for many years promoting conservation in Crete and he will be sorely missed. His contributions included helping to establish the Griffon Vulture Colony Observatory in the Selinari Pass, and promoting bird protection at the Aposelemis river, and Creta Sun lagoon. Then in December 2000 Denis Townsend, who since 1992 has compiled the Crete eports, contracted pleurisy and pneumonia. Unfortunately it was too much for his heart and he died on December 30th. This report is dedicated to these two steadfast workers for Crete. Weather: The winter was mild and dry. Early April was unsettled with rain in the first week. Then the Spring and Summer were hot and dry. Bramiana reservoir was low in the Spring and almost dry by October. Water supply continues to give cause for concern. A new reservoir is being built in the Amari valley. Names and Spelling: We have used the Marco Polo Kreta Die General Karte. 1:150,000 map for the place names and spelling. Illustrations Many thanks to Ken Baldridge who has again provided illustrations for this report. Bird List follows the order in "The Birds of Greece" Handrinos/Akriotis Status: rare, scarce, common, locally common, introduced. -resident, passage migrant, AV accidental vagrant, V - vagrant, SV summer visitor, WV - winter visitor.
