Croatia - Cres Island

This morning was spent exploring the coastline before making our way to the ferry to travel to Cres Island (in the Kvarner Gulf). We also ventured into the Ucka National park and up to Lovranska Draga where we came upon a track to a little waterfall, Setnica Slap. This waterfall was very pretty and the walk in was lovely as well.

Upon arriving on Cres we made our way to Beli where there is a Buzzard rescue centre and wildlife retreat. This establishment rescues the Buzzards who either fall into the water before they can fly (they nest on the cliffs and sometimes are scared out of their nests by tourist boats etc), are injured from another reason, or are sick. They then rehabilitate them usually over the course of about 12mths and release them back into the wild. 

We then found our way to our camp for the night, Camp Kovarcine, near the township of Cres.
