Excellent photo James, shame about the back-stop!

 

[James Bowler]

Thanks for the comments. Luckily for this guy another very nice Ibex had already presented itself with a perfect back stop.

Matt,

The stalking was like Scotland except warm and sunny. Spot them from a long way off and make a plan. I shot mine from one side of a steep valley to another.
There were small caves in the rock face that the Ibex would appear from. You could glass an area and there be nothing go back and 6 or 7 Ibex appear out of nowhere.
Its definitely worth the trip if you get the chance.

Nice mate, wish I could go, but as I have a young family, times is hard, lol, maybe in a few years, I love the hole hard stalk and the thrill of the chase? Did you take many more photo's bet it was an experience and a half? Matt

Hi James,
Well framed but I think it would be a little better if you take close up. Which camera did you use to took this picture?
