Diga del Cingino dam

I was sent these photos from the Diga del Cingino dam in Italy yesterday.  You may have already seen them, but if not enjoy looking for the “spots” on the dam wall!

As you get closer the “spots” are more visible.

They are European Ibex and they like to eat the moss and lichen growing on the wall. They also are licking the salt off the stone. Isn’t it incredible they can stand at that angle ? Just when you think you’ve seen everything!

This dam is situated close to the Swiss border and is almost inaccessible except to most determined visitors, and the Ibex of course!
