Goshawk with prey - the end sent on September 20, 2016 (22:24) by Enrico Fulco. 12 comments, 1906 views.

con Canon EF 2.0x III, 1/1250 f/5.6, ISO 500, tripod. Centro Cicogne e Anatidi di Racconigi, Italy. Specie: Accipiter gentilis

Uno scatto di una sequenza abbastanza cruenta ... stavo fotografando l'alzavola che emerge dall'acqua quando ho staccato per un attimo l'occhio dal mirino e ho visto l'ombra del rapace calare dall'alto! Ho ripreso subito a scattare, ma ormai il momento dell'atterraggio sulla preda era andato. Il giovane astore (immagino sia un astore, ma correggetemi pure se sbaglio) aveva provato circa un'ora prima a predare un'altra alzavola ma questa gli era scappata dagli artigli dopo che l'aveva sollevata in volo ... al secondo tentativo ha voluto sincerarsi di non sbagliare più e ha messo una zampa sulla testa della malcapitata preda, tenendola sott'acqua per una decina di secondi, poi si è involato verso la vegetazione portandola via. Devo dire che mi ha piuttosto impressionato, è stata la prima volta in cui ho assisitito ad una predazione così distintamente. Foto 3 di 3

Guys ... thank you all! To those who commented on the other and the new commentators :-D ... as mentioned elsewhere this is the third of the series, I have some of removal in the air but it is not nothing to it, but unfortunately it has turned away in opposite direction to mine, so I could only catch his bird back :-D.
This is to tell you that there ammorberò more similar to each other with more photos :-P :-P

Hello!
