Mont Ceint

A stroll up Mont Ceint from the Port de Lers this morning. Great to be out in the snow and sunshine! 5 people on the summit but no-one else all day. 

During a lazy lunch we spotted vultures far below us feeding on and scrabbling over the carcass of a calf or foal which had fallen down the south face. Could just about pick them out with the telephoto lens. Times like this I wish had the new zuiko 100-400 lens!

A little Merlin soaring over the mountains.

On the way back we got stuck behind the transhumance all the way from Le Port to Massat (about an hour in the car at walking pace) no other routes to get by the farmer bring his 50 or so cattle down from the estive.
