Giving a helping hand. - a photo on Flickriver

            One of the birds we often come across on alpine peaks is the Alpine Chough. It's a member off the crow family and is absolutely brimming with character. In the UK the Red Billed Chough is a rare bird with no more than 350 pairs found on some of our western coastlines. In the higher reaches of Europe, North Africa and mountains as Far East as Nepal the Alpine Chough is a relatively common bird. 

During a trip to Switzerland back in 2017 Mark and I had taken a cable car to the "James Bond" film location at the summit of the Schilthorn. En route we took a break at the intermediate station of Birg where the local Choughs had learnt that a free meal was possible.
