Chosen
by the Gods ... and by the birds that are its oldest inhabitants and
Thrace’s most faithful tourists. For besides the birds that make their
home in Thrace, there are also those that rest there on their long
voyage north or south, depending on the season. It’s natural they would
prefer Thrace, the land of Orpheus who played his lyre, singing the
praises of Dionysos and taming the wild beasts. At the delta of the
Evros and Nestos rivers, in the forests of Dadia and Rhodope, there are
refuges for some of the rarest birds of prey in Europe, eagles and
falcons, but where pelicans and flamingos, woodpeckers and herons also
find sanctuary. |
