Hauer Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Having arrived with my previous Airbus flight in Switzerland and having some time off, I decided to fly around the Swiss mountains with a Tiger Moth. Had hoped to encounter some Alpine Ibex but unfortunately none were seen on this occasion! For those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_ibex Herman Thanks for looking!

Stillwater Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ah, le Lac Leman! In the second picture you show the view from top of a mountain you can also reach by train. A beautiful view, and there are even some fixed tents on top to stay overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Beautiful images Herman and a pleasant departure from your normal mode of travel. Don't get too close to those male Ibex in your rag and tube plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Wonderful Herman! I love mountain wildlife too, my most favorite animal in the world is the Hyrax, it lives in the Himalayas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauer Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thank you, Jack. Indeed lovely animals those Hyrax. Very similar to what you find in South Africa too. They're known there as " Dassies ". Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
