Line up the Ladies

The bouquetin rut has started, two males were serenading the females on the side of Roc d'Orsay today. Unfortunately for photography, there is avalanche danger so I couldn't approach to a closer position. The main photo is a young buck who has just been chased away from a single female that a much more mature male was "chatting up" (see extra). I think he was just watching to pick up a few pointers. The females were ignoring the males so I don't think they are receptive yet.
