at 340mm, 1/160 f/7.1, ISO 400, hand held. Specie: Asio abyssinicus

Metà pomeriggio, altitudine 3200m. Ci inoltriamo, a piedi, al seguito della guida locale,all'interno di una foresta ( al limite delle Bale Mountain) sorprendente per la varietà e maestosità degli alberi,alcuni dei quali hanno tronchi del diametro di 1,5 metri o più. Camminare in silenzio in mezzo a questi secolari giganti con panorami mozzafiato che,a tratti, si aprono sulle cime circostanti che superano i 4000 metri è già di per se un'esperienza appagante. Quando arriviamo,dopo circa mezz'ora di sentieri che vorrei non finissero mai, su un costone erboso ci troviamo di fronte ad un enorme, contorto albero su cui riposa il raro, elusivo,endemico Gufo di Abissinia il più grande Strigide di tutta l'Africa. Dire che rimaniamo affascinati ed eccitati come bambini è poco...Dopo la meraviglia ,la frenesia dello scatto alla ricerca del modo migliore di immortalarlo evitando rami e foglie, ma al contempo limitando il rumore ed il disturbo. Rimaniamo una manciata di minuti, poi a malincuore, ci allontaniamo per rispetto di questo splendido, imponente abitante dei boschi portandoci dietro la certezza di un'esperienza indimenticabile. Per quanto mi risulta è la prima volta che un esemplare di questa specie viene pubblicato su Juzaforum. Inutile dire che è raro ed endemico del Corno d'Africa. Foresta di Dinsho, Bale Mountain National Park,Regione Territoriale di Oromia,Etiopia. Si consiglia versione in HD.

this time there is no doubt !! owl of abissinia is now considered a separate species but it is extremely similar to our long-eared owl, and for a long time considered a sottospecie.complimenti both for discovery and for trip which is good considering the intricate and the shutter speed setting ...: -o

If I had not told me confused with our common owl, but in support of my misidentification least I commented Steff which confirmed the similarity of the two species, which even before was considered only subspecies. Congratulations for the meeting and the beautiful shooting
