Common Marmots in the Stubai Valley, Innsbrucke, Austria

The Marmot warning whistle is a feature of walking in the Austrian Alps. Shrill, piercing and surprisingly loud, you know they are about but surprisingly difficult to pick out amongst the scattered rocks. Only when they are comfortable that there is no danger will they emerge and sun bathe. Preferring to live on the sunny South facing slopes.
