at 400mm, 1/320 f/7.1, ISO 5000, hand held. Specie: Tetrao urogallus

Gallo cedrone "Capercaillie" "Tetrao urogallus". Soggetto selvatico, Italia. In queste occasioni mi chiedo sempre quale sia il limite per interagire con la fauna selvatica, senza recare più disturbo del dovuto... Un Gallo cedrone difende il suo territorio da un grande pubblico interessato alla sua bellezza... passa un giorno, due... fino a diventare una settimana... ed ogni giorno deve combattere una guerra senza vinti ne vincitori, le energie non sono infinite... il pubblico cambia quotidianamente ma lui no, è sempre lo stesso ed il suo istinto lo farà andare avanti fino alla fine... Quindi, dopo due ore ho abbandonato la scena... il risultato era arrivato e mi son detto: Ok Fabio, hai dormito circa 3 ore e mezzo, è stato un tour de force, vorresti fermarti ancora, magari fino a quando nel mirino leggerai FULL perchè la CF è piena... ma non credi sia troppo ?! forse stai chiedendo più del dovuto a questo animale?!... ad un certo punto ho identificato il Cedrone come un disperato, bisognoso di Pace... non voglio rischiare di trasformarlo solo in un oggetto per amplificare il mio bisogno narcisistico di scattare... o meglio... l'ho già fatto, cosa cerco ancora?... Quindi chiamo i miei compagni di viaggio: ragazzi abbiamo dato... facciamoci due passi, magari questo posto può offrirci qualche altro spunto ! ... Un po' controvoglia lasciamo la scena. Oggi vengo a sapere che è stato prelevato e portato altrove... forse è meglio così... lunga vita a questo Combattente !!!

Update:
this same specimen was "ripped off" last spring by someone who grabbed him by the tail (to defend an assaulted comrade? to ruin the trophy for others?, for...)
The thing was promptly reported to the provincial police who placed two tables along the trail, so that it is now easier to impose sanctions on photographers-little-naturalists.
There was also a press conference on this issue

many galliformes lose their tail feathers during love battles or aggressions by predators, I hope it was so also for this rooster and not the act of a "photographer .."
