The scuffle. sent on August 05, 2015 (22:48) by Fausto Pesce. 8 comments, 560 views. [retina]

at 300mm, 1/640 f/5.6, ISO 500, tripod.

Ho assistito per una buona mezz' ora a una zuffa tra un gruppo di Gazze, supportate da due Ghiandaie, e due giovani Sparvieri in un boschetto di pioppi. In apparenza gli attacchi sembravano più intimidatori che pericolosi e ho immaginato che gazze e ghiandaie si limitassero a scacciare i due giovani sparvieri dal loro territorio. Quando ho attraversato il boschetto per allontanarmi, ho trovato una carcassa di un giovane sparviere morto da giorni. Mi è rimasto il dubbio che gazze e ghiandaie non si limitino solo a scacciare i rapaci, ma arrivino anche ad ucciderli. Qualcuno ha qualche info a tal proposito ?. Grazie.

Fausto Hello, very good document. To answer your question, I do not think that the crows were able to kill a raptor agile and fast as the sparrow hawk, rather I think it died of natural causes (not enough food, inability to procure, illness, etc.). Admitting that they are all children of the same parents, three chicks are a bit 'a number limit, it is quite possible that one in three, even reached the stage of youth, do not make it.
Greetings
Alessandro

A beautiful and dynamic image, very natural. To your question I can only answer that, according to the farmers, the Magpies are still the most aggressive of the Crows.

Thank you all for the transition and for the answers, when I come across situations like these I feel just an ignorant, even on animals so common here in Italy. The answer of Alexander seems to me the most logical and probable. Indeed in raptors often that the chicks, born at different times, growing up in a different way and the smaller they are unlikely to survive. Thank you and good photos.
