We have seen kingfishers in Plakias before but were especially lucky to take this shot while enjoying a lunchtime drink at Ostraco's.

Here are a couple of 'Beach Cat', so called because often he would come down on the beach in the late afternoon and say hello. Apparently he belongs to the people at Nikos Souvlaki.

Here is he sunning himself

Here he is later Looking down at me from a Tamarisk tree by the sunbeds opposite the Alianthos Beach

Dear Bouzouki. I look forward to seeing him each year and I take a handful (or more ) of dog biscuits for him. Thankyou for the lovely photo of him and his new friend of course.

Heather.

Beautiful picture.  I have fallen in love with her.  Do you think she will still be about next year?  So sad if not.

We nicknamed the little fella "Fiddle". He had been abandoned but arrangements were made through the wonderful registered charity "Friends of Animals Rethymnon" to collect him and I am given to understand that he was re-homed and is now living in Germany.

Here he is on the same day that Chris took his photo, with his then best friend Bouzouki.

John, I love these pictures so much. As I said, we will look for Bouzouki during our stay in Plakias in May.
See you soon...

I hope he/she is still ok, this adorable cat was still there in November when the beach bar was closed. It looked very healthy & was being fed by me but more importantly by friends of the animals. The most friendly & affectionate cat ever.

i'm surprised no one has posted these fellas, i quite miss them

(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/368836496_fde9571f2d.jpg)

my favourite memory of them was one day at the far end, they were routing through a girls bag for food ( while she was asleep) being very disappointed at not finding any, one of them decided to pull the girls hair. the scream and the ensuing run down the beach was hilarious!!!

Harribobs- They are well and healthy- I was in Plakias two weeks ago and they pretty much had the run of the place themselves-
