Chamois Browsing on Blueberry Bushes

I like taking pictures of animals in their environment, without intruding. From a car, in Africa, it is quite easy as most animals don't associate humans and cars. To take pictures of chamois, you have to be on foot. Tracking and checking the wind is very important if you don't want to be noticed. I managed just that to take the picture and the chamois kept eating his blueberry bush.
