Flowers and wildlife

Alpine wildlife includes chamois, ibex, marmots, deer, foxes, stoats, and many birds. I cannot programme the animals to show up for us during our walks, but by being first on the trail in the morning we increases our chances of seeing wildlife.The destinations I now go to, being quieter, give us the best chance of seeing these animals, as well as the wonderful sight of vultures soaring overhead: the vultures are now common in Provence but in summer time they follow the sheep herds over to the Alps.
It is always a great privilege to see the wildlife and one that really enhances a hike.
