I think we would go back and have the more exc£usive ‘photographers’ tour next time. But it’s a lot cheaper than going to Africa/India/China.  As we well know, you have to be very lucky to happen upon perfect wildlife photographic opportunities without sitting and waiting for them.

There's always a story on our outings! lol Jan and I were traversing the Grossglockner ....along with the world and his wife. Halting at Bikers Point ( where all the motorbikes gather ) to take in the spectacular views of the highest road pass in Europe, I wandered off piste, so to speak, to get some snow scenes. While a short distance away from Jan and a gathering of Japanese party overlooking my position I saw a Marmot chewing on some grass. I took the photo I wanted and turned to see if Jan had seen it. Trying not to disturb the creature I sort of snorted huskily but with increasing impatient volume.... ....."jan, Jan JAN" "Marmot" pointing at said beast "What?" she mouthed "MARMOT" again pointing at the furry diner "WHAT?" she voiced just about audibly "a F*&%$@ING MARMOT" I finally bellowed in exasperation. As she turned her binoculars in the direction of the insulted creature....the Japanese party started pointing and repeating excitedly " F*&%$@ING MARMOT ". I have just titled it plain Marmot but probably an Alpine Marmot in truth...and not a ...............  Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image.

Shortly after moving to this rural idyl in1972, we were driving along a back road, when as we rounded a bend a large beaver-like creature came waddling across in front of us. I braked and swerved around it. There then followed a lengthy discussion between us as to what it was. We sort of thought it was a Coypu, but never having seen one, and the fact that they had supposedly been eradicated in the UK some years earlier, we did wonder. They are now eradicated being a none endemic species for the UK that was causing damage (supposedly) It is at least commemorated in the fact we named that bend in the road …Coypu Corner…. from then on. Roll forward 40+years and while caravanning in France we saw several Coypu in the open field next to our campsite. They emerged from a small stream/ waterway area each morning …..where the above ‘portrait’ was taken.

Black Rhone it eats trees the White Rhino eats grass. Early Whistler in Rhodesia 1970s with White Rhinos, it took several long days to get that close as no long tele lenses for large format colour trans cameras. Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image.
