Spent a weekend in the Vosges National Park in the French region of Alsace. Although the area is beautiful there are not so many birds on offer and as such there is little to write about, with a Tree Pipit being the best bird on offer. Other wildlife was a little more interesting however, and it was nice to see the Chamois, a species of European mountain goat with a very striking facial pattern. I had hoped to also bump into some butterflies that would be new but sadly the weather was against us and the only butterfly that might have been of interest, a Fritillary species, was blown past us before it was able to land. Otherwise a delightful weekend in a stunning area.
