Eco-Centre in Beli, Cres


Eco-Centre "Caput Insulae" in Beli, provides an excellent introduction to the island's remarkable bird and plant life. The center functions as a reserve for griffon vultures, an indigenous bird that nests in the island's high coastal cliffs. There are usually three or four vultures in residence. You might see one of the griffons in flight if you follow the eco-trails surrounding the center. An illustrated booklet published and distributed by the center helps you to identify the trees, plants, and bushes on the trails--wild asparagus, black mulberry, and wulfen's spurge. As you stroll along the paths, a diverse collection of bird life, such as golden eagles, snake eagles, and honey buzzards, soar above the surrounding woods.
