I wrote an article about wildlife in Switzerland if you want to see more pictures and more animals. http://www.ansermoz-photography.com/what... I hope to be able to take photos of animals that are more rare to see, like a lynx for example. Follow me on Facebook :) https://www.facebook.com/ansermozphotogr...

Yes, please! :-)
Thank you Marta!
I think I will post the other who was dead sleeping few meters away from this one.
I guess climbing on top of the mountain made him feel pretty tired...
I will post the photos now!
Impressive and fascinating!
Thank you Armadeus, I hope to capture more photos soon!
Frederic, that is an amazing series. I love the third photo. Thank you for sharing :)
Yes indeed, end of a 500mm :)
I was very close to hi, indeed. I talked peacefully to him and showed him my presence quietly. I didn't joined him at the mountain top (extra top), as there would have been no escape way for him or me.
So I stayed a bit and move back slowly while talking.
I did it for bears and it worked so, I guess it's to make the animal feel calm and not stay too long.
He looks healthy indeed, sunbathing on a mountain top must help :)
I guess he's probably still at the long end of a 400 or 500 mm zoom :-) Great stuff, I love the eyes. He looks very healthy.
Thank you Emily!
OMG amazing shots!
Thank you Daniele, yes indeed, but not too close to not disturb him (too much I guess).
Plus on a steep ridge, you don't want any trouble :)
Great series! You got quite close to this one :-)
