Verso mezzogiorno col sole alto all'orizzonte (purtroppo) i drivers vedono questa bellissima aquila in cima ad un acacia dove si era appena posata con la sua preda, una mangusta. Per oltre mezz'ora si è cibata tranquillamente, dapprima strappando la pelliccia e successivamente grossi bocconi di carne... Poi l'abbiamo vista, inquieta, scrutare l'orizzonte a lungo. Dopo un po' anche a noi si è rivelato il motivo: stavano sopraggiungendo gli avvoltoi che, volteggiando a spirale, si abbassavano sempre più sull'acacia. Ad un certo momento, molto innervosita la marziale si è involata, come per affrontare gli avvoltoi o, più probabilmente, per fare una manovra diversiva: è stato a quel punto che, improvvisamente, sorprendendo anche noi che ce ne siamo accorti soltanto all'ultimo momento, è arrivata l'aquila Rapace: in un attimo si è eclissata con i resti della preda. La marziale è prontamente tornata all'albero ma, ormai, troppo tardi per salvare il suo pasto. Così, credo, sarà più chiara la lettura della foto-sequenza. 1) Questo è il momento in cui l'aquila Marziale si invola, lasciando i resti della mangusta,incustoditi, sull'acacia. Si noti la protuberanza del gozzo, per l'abbondante pasto e la possanza delle zampe, molto muscolose e lunghe. Chi fosse interessato a seguire in modo cronologico la foto sequenza, consideri questa la prima immagine. 2)http://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?l=it&t=1224810 Questa è la seconda. L'aquila rapace si avventa sui resti della preda appena l'altra abbandona l'acacia... 3)http://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?l=it&t=1219147 Ultima immagine della serie con la Marziale beffata che ormai può solo constatare l'avvenuto furto Nduto, Tanzania

Azz ... I was inside the hair. Magnificent bird of prey that it deserved some more background. But even so it's a shot that I envy.

Thanks Victor, Alexander, Paul, Massimo.

Paul is true: we were close enough, and when he explained the wings, too close to the 500 !! 8-) It would take the new 200-400 (lens sognowow! Wow!). The wings have returned all in the frame at the expense, however, of a cut too tight at the bottom that penalizes the prey sull'acacia. Not my mistake, in this case, I console myself, is a fixed limit of optics!

Great shot and not easy to steal. I read the caption, and then the separation could take place but for the vultures arrived unexpectedly for prey and then you've got good reflexes. Congratulations.
