Description
Since many people have started to climb mountains some animals have taken advantage of it. Like this bird, the alpine chough (Pyrrhocorax graculus), that is very interested in what we leave behind. Crumbs are welcome but there are places in the Alps where they beg for more - and many tourists cannot resist the temptation to feed these birds. Can you?

Quite simply formidable!! wow! Pretty contrast with the bottom. There it has the proud air, perched all high! Me I will nourish it if it looks at me:) .. a little bit independent! You believe that my black cat would make good pace there too? hihi Cheer good glance and an excellent capture. Excuse the humour of lajasmine:) V

The one you met is interested in what you leave behind but I know some of them who are also interested in what you've got in your bag! Even if you stay close to your bag. I love this. This is the proof that wild life is still possible, even in the proximity of human visitors.

Breath taking....it is most beautiful. It must be quite an experience for you to be in those surroundings as you take these kind of pictures. I am happy to have viewed this awsome picture. I can even see the feathers on the bird. Very detailed, excellent. Thank You.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a raven (my favourite bird; I always wanted to had a domestiacted one to take it in my shoulder) Now it looks me more like a blakbird or, as you very well say, a Pyrrhocorax graculus. Yes, surely it is a Pyrrhocorax graculus. Anyway, a great shot. Congratulations.

Wonderful shot. Great details! :)))

Beautiful DOF! Excellent image. It has always irked me that people can't pay attention to the signs. It's quite simple "Don't feed the wildlife" But as a general rule, people are simple.

Yes, Jan-Carel, as long as bread crumbs are all we leave behind. Our boots and our shadows should be all that touch the wilderness. We move on. The birds and other wildlife have to survive there.
