Wildlife trip to the French Alps July 29th to 5th August 2017.
My trip was organized by Country Walks holidays. The main interest for this trip was to walk in this region of France and record the wildlife seen.
The weather was warm with some rain. I have endeavoured to identify the plants from the photographs with a varying degree of success. Some local species were especially difficult as several had more than one scientific or English name.
This page shows the wildlife photographs of the trip. For GENERAL PHOTOS of the trip please link to French Alps 2017.
