at 500mm, 1/1000 f/5.6, ISO 400, tripod. Specie: Circaetus gallicus

E' ancora buio quando partiamo dalla casa di Dante in Val Susa dirigendoci verso il confine Francese; lo oltrepassiamo ed entriamo nel territorio del Parc National de la Venoise.- Diversi chilometri, poi abbandoniamo la strada asfaltata e, salendo di quota, ci inerpichiamo su quella che più che una pista forestale è una strettissima mulattiera.- Ad un certo punto Dante si ferma e dice: “siamo arrivati”.- Scendiamo per pochi minuti su un dirupo strapiombante ed arriviamo in un piccolo ma comodo capanno, praticamente invisibile, realizzato sul posto con teli e frasche.- Entriamo, e da alcune feritoie lasciate appositamente per gli obiettivi, si domina da posizione leggermente sopraelevata e vicinissima il nido di un biancone, dove soggiorna un giovane completamente piumato e prossimo all'involo.- Ormai gli adulti non fanno frequenti visite al nido e si limitano a portare le prede al “piccolo” senza più provvedere a sminuzzarle e ad imbeccarlo.- Nell'arco dell'intera giornata gli adulti si sono fatti vedere per sette o otto volte; ciò nonostante le ore sono passate veloci, ed ammirare questo magnifico rapace da una posizione così privilegiata e vicina (facevo fatica a mantenerlo nell'inquadratura col 500 mm) è stato veramente entusiasmante.-

Excellent image with beautiful colors and superb details. Nice composition. I would lighten the area of head and near wing slightly.

Regards,
Satish.

thank you all for the transition and appreciation;
but since it is right to give Caesar what of Caesar. . . . . . all the credit goes to Dante who knows and follows these splendid raptors for many years and has enabled me to spend two days in close contact with them;
greetings to all and thanks again
Mauro

Thanks for the appreciation Mario, Enrico and Gabriele;
Yup; a great subject that until then I had only seen from a considerable distance;
being able to admire it, and photograph it, so close it was really exciting;
I hope in a few months to repeat the experience.-
A greeting
Mauro
