Moni Island near Aigina, July

We spent one night anchored off Moni, near Aigina, and were hauled out the following day. As We got up, and long before the (large numbers) of tourists arrived from Athens we could see a herd of about 20 ibex nearby on the shore. There were some youngsters as well as a larger male, not to mention a few pretenders to his crown. Later he made it plain in a play fight just who was boss, and then turned his back on all of them and strolled casually about his business, leaving the rest to follow in their own time.

It was the sort of scene that it is a privilege to watch, and I am glad that the camera was to hand to record it.
