, 1/100 f/8.0, ISO 800, hand held. Specie: Erinaceus europaeus

Un bellissimo e inaspettato incontro dell'autunno 2021 alle prime luci dopo un giorno di esplorazione. Quella notte c'era stato un violento temporale ma ero comunque riuscito a fotografare alcuni bellissimi insetti. La mattina dopo il terreno era fangoso e l'ambiente molto umido, per esperienza so che dopo la pioggia qualche animale esce sempre allo scoperto quindi decisi di continuare l'esplorazione, ero completamente bagnato, anche la macchina fotografica lo era, solo l'attrezzatura negli zaini era protetta. Ero in un campo incolto circondato dagli alberi, il terreno era pieno di lumache che camminavano tra l'erba e mentre le fotografavo dovevo stare molto attento a non schiacciarle. All'improvviso ho sentito un rumore di passi, non era un insetto ma qualcosa di più grosso e veniva nella mia direzione, mi sono appostato di fianco pronto a scattare. Con mio grande stupore ho incontrato questo piccolo riccio che incuriosito dalla luce, si è fermato ad osservarmi e ad annusare il terreno per pochi secondi, consentendomi di fotografarlo. Subito dopo ha continuato la sua passeggiata, come potete osservare non era bagnato, quindi aveva da poco lasciato il suo nascondiglio. Quest'anno purtroppo in tanti mesi di esplorazioni notturne non ho più incontrato nemmeno un riccio, mi è dispiaciuto molto ho pochissimi ricordi di questa specie. Credo che la scomparsa di questo mammifero sia dovuta alle volpi, da luglio a settembre ho incontrato almeno 3 diversi esemplari tra cui due di giovane età, le ho viste anche davanti casa. Mi è capitato molte volte mentre camminavo silenzioso di notte, vederle apparire a pochi metri da me e poi scomparire tra gli alberi. Sono inutili i tentativi di fotografarle, appena faccio un movimento scappano via, non sono abituate alla presenza dell'uomo, meglio così, sono enormemente soddisfatto per essere riuscito a guardarle negli occhi. Le volpi hanno sviluppato una strategia unica per cacciare il riccio, quando lui è appallottolato gli fanno la pipì addosso costringendolo ad aprirsi per non morire asfissiato, poi lo mordono sul muso, la parte più delicata. Spero di incontrare di nuovo i ricci il prossimo anno, insieme ai rospi sono sempre più rari, manca però ancora molto alla primavera.

One, or more hedgehogs come to visit at night in my garage that I leave open (I live in the countryside). Even if they get very dirty, I always leave something for them.
Congratulations for the exit and the shot!

Even I sometimes meet the curls in the garden under the house, insects are never lacking but I always leave plenty of water.
