A Swiss Alpine Marmot
Primarily it was two weeks of hiking in September, so packing very limited photo kit, but the backpack always weighed in around 20kgs with clothing, camera, and other essentials for a day in the mountains.
Theses guys were located around the old foundations of the cable car pylons, but unlike the tame Austrian ones where you can use a 16-35 wide angle, these had a threshold of around 20-25m comfort zone. Therefore the only way to approach was after they dived down into their burrows, move to a good vantage point and then when they would surface, you need to be very quiet and still, eye sight is pin sharp as raptors are their main enemy.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
