Alpine Ibex (Male)

This is called 'Stambecco' in Italian; in French it is known as 'Bouquetin' (also in Slovenia it is 'Kozorog', in Germany it is 'Steinbock' and in Holland 'Steenbok'.) Scientific name: Capra ibex.

This photo is taken on the slopes of the Grenz glacier in Gornergrat (3100m), Switzerland.

Heron

WOW! The Heron is quite watchful! Any fish?
It is sitting over some sort of a wall at the Venetian lagoon, near San Marco at Venezia (Venice), Italy.

Black Headed Gull

The black headed gull sitting on a log out on the Venetian lagoon (off Adriatic sea) near San Marco's square at Venezia (Venice). Being a scavenger bird it is always watchful for food of some kind or other.
