    The Verzasca Dam is an impressive sight and one of the highest dams in Switzerland, rising 220 metres above the Verzasca Valley. From this vantage point you will have a spectacular view of the dam's imposing concrete wall, which appeared in the opening scene of the James Bond film GoldenEye.

      I spotted a number of red birds on the dam wall, apparently nesting there, which are completely unknown to me. Does anyone know more?
