Chamois Family

I managed to get up on the "workers train" at 8am to Bretaye and used my touring skis to get to the top of the Roc d'Orsay. On the way up I was disappointed not to see any wildlife just 2 young and fit friends training for races. But looking over the edge at the summit I saw these shapes moving away from the grass and back round to the north side of the mountain. The rowdy noise of a group of skiers who were on the first lift, had frightened them away from breakfast in the sun.

Back down on an empty train to flee the crowds too, I saw a pair of crossbills (see extra). You can really see why they are called that.
