A flock of about 20 Alpine Chough at Cret de Chatilllon west of Lac Annecy (elevat
ion 1700m) 
seemed wary initially but after a bit of hanging around they become quite precocious, even coming down to pick up picnic leftovers at one point. A mixture of red-legged adults and dark-legged juveniles lined up on the chairlift paraphernalia, occasionally taking flight en masse before circling and returning to similar perches. Very characterful and vocal birds.
