Specie: Alcedo atthis

Once upon a time.... la foto di un martino in cova di Angelo Gandolfi pubblicata sulla rivista Airone colpi' tutti a quel tempo.Gia' Fioratti aveva fotografato l'allocco e l'upupa nel nido, ma il martino era un'altra cosa. Una foto del genere, per l'enorme difficolta' tecnica sembrava irraggiungibile...ma ci son sempre piaciute le sfide e cosi' nel nostro piccolo, provammo anche noi. Ricercammo su libri e riviste di natura (ai tempi internet non esisteva ) tutto cio' che potesse servire per la costruzione di un nido artificiale per martin pescatore: tavole di compensato, chiodi, vinavil, un tubo in plastica per idraulica di un metro, diametro 60mm, sabbia e cartapesta. Si trattava di costruire un scatola con all'interno la camera per la cova di circa 15cm di diametro. La scatola doveva avere un lato asportabile che sarebbe stato sostituito, durante le riprese, da un ulteriore camera oscura nella quale erano posizionati due lampeggiatori, una fotocamera con grandangolare ed una telecamera ad infrarossi. Con la cartapesta costruimmo la camera per la cova e poi la ricoprimmo con uno strato di vinavil sul quale spargemmo della sabbia e piccole radici per far sembrare il nido il piu' naturale possibile. Il tubo invece, anch'esso ricoperto di sabbia doveva simulare il tunnel d'entrata.Il tutto naturalmente doveva essere perfettamente impermeabile alla luce. Il nido venne posizionato dietro una radice di un albero caduto nel quale il martino aveva gia' fatto dei tentativi di costruzione senza successo ed il tubo attraversava il pane di terra che era rimasto attaccato alla radice stessa ed usciva in corrispondenza dei precedenti buchi fatti dal martino. Venne occupato nel giro di una settimana e quando fummo sicuri che i giovani avevano gia' alcuni giorni di vita, iniziammo a fotografare. Seguimmo l'allevamento dei piccoli attraverso un monitor da un capanno mimetico a circa venti metri dal nido mentre lo scatto avveniva attraverso un comando a distanza. Fu senza dubbio un'esperienza fra le piu' complesse della nostra "carriera" fotografica ma anche tra le piu'interessanti e gratificanti che ci permise di osservare comportamenti ed aspetti della vita del martino fino ad allora poco conosciuti. Un saluto.

Nothing comes by chance! Behind a big picture there is always a great photographer and a great deal of preparation. the great photographers recognize this. Only compliments.

I remember everything very good. I tried that too, but my oasis in the places where the nests are so many martino that my tapes have never been occupied.

Nice document.
However, I agree with Henry Paris for the question nests, so a photo would not want to do .. the risk of interference is too high for me. The game is not worth it .. this for my way of seeing things.

I like to congratulate for the excellent preparation of the nest and even more to the study you have made to be able to make this shot, I think it was interesting to study and observe the stage of hatching and growth of children, I would like to be terribly well I to attend a similar experience.
Greetings

I understand the spectacle of the thing and then at the time the film was all the more difficult .... But I do not recommend everyone to try ... absolutely not even try ..... But it was not forbidden to post photos of nests on this site??

I am glad that the picture has sparked some interest also made conflicting opinions even if sometimes with words, I think a bit 'overdone. So I wanted to 'speak my mind and get into the merits of the case "photo nests." The fact that it is forbidden to post photos on the forum of this kind I honestly have found no trace, but if so, I would not hesitate for a second to take it off. I would however, 'that some of the "contrary" to explain to me what you mean by photo to the nest. The image of a bird with the cue made to 20cm from the nest without this being framed and 'photos to be considered at the nest or not? Or maybe qulcuno think that the subject is really nice to sit in front of our hut, placed there maybe an hour before, just 'cause intrigued by our presence?
My photo of the owl in flight, beautiful picture of my friend Luigi made all'upupa or my friend Danilo made to the black woodpecker are according to you made the nest or not, since I have not found scandalizzati.E comments of this kind of I've seen dozens of photos on the forum ...... And 'more' for a few days that photographicfo, someone knows it, and, believe it or not, and 'much more' dangerous to take pictures nests in cup, there is some risk that the brood is abandoned because 'the cabin is usually mounted nesting already' started . It 'much more' dangerous to try to photograph the exchange of fish between two martini, 'cause it comes at a delicate moment and that' nest building yet there ... all to applaud. In our case we are faced with a nest containing a statue of equipment that will then 'used and martino, when they decided to occupy it, he cosiderato all non-hazardous for nesting. Moreover, as regards shooting, the Nikon F4S had used, if well soundproofed, a sound almost imperceptible, while flash "traveling" to 1/32 power after the first shot, the Martino even not care and I think 'image that I think a sense of intimacy' and tenderness together, or is a witness. With this, I do not mean that a beginner should challenge themselves in such an adventure, but only if dotati some experience and sensibilita'la what can not 'give you enormous satisfaction.
A greeting and thanks for the comments .. even those opposed ;-)

Beautiful. The martini will surely have thanked him for a nest so well done.
Things done with skill and intelligence as these are only to be admired.
Talented Sergio and Luigi.
Do not recommend to try those who have the necessary knowledge.

Beautiful picture, if only for the subject. This is in any case an 'image given only a few photographers who combine excellent technique in my nature to excellent knowledge of the subject. Then I do not know how much this has been disturbed by the shooting. Surely the fact that he had chosen the nest was a sign that he did not feel threatened. If the person who took the pictures also assures me that the nest has not been compromised then why not applaud much capacity?

only photographers and experts familiar with the habits can make these precious and rare documents.
then if the brood is successful, I do not think it was caused no harm ....
actually there are many human attitudes also unaware and in good faith who bring irreversible damage to the outcome of the brood.
then I would not judge anyone.
many compliments and a lot of admiration
