Ermine the blood-sucking... sent on October 19, 2018 (19:07) by Ruggero Casse. 6 comments, 1067 views.

at 400mm, 1/1000 f/5.6, ISO 1000, hand held.

Tuann era sfiancato dal peso del camoscio che aveva ben legato sulla schiena e Aldo, con i fucili a tracolla e gli zaini in spalla, stufo di quel sentiero che non arrivava mai alle Grange. “Cosa dici Tuann, ci fermiamo a dare un colpo al "buc" (borraccia di pelle usata per trasportare vino)….” “Ma si dai: li sotto al Clot 'dle Sele c'è anche dell'acqua; butto a terra 'sto camoscio e riprendiamo un fiato.” Sdraiati a terra, sull'erba secca indorata dalle prime gelate, masticavano un pezzo di carne secca osservando il camoscio lì, davanti ai loro piedi, che ancora sgocciolava sangue dal ventre aperto. Mentre spossati respiravano silenziosi come ipnotizzati dalla masticazione che pareva non riuscire ad ammorbidire quei due pezzi di cotenna che rigiravano tra i denti, notarono poco a monte una macchietta bianca scendere nella loro direzione. Poco più grossa di un ratto, rapidissima, attraversava rododendri e sfasciumi rocciosi per fermarsi, giusto un secondo, in capo ad un masso più grande. Pareva puntare qualcosa; o magari seguiva una qualche traccia odorosa. Chissa… I due cacciatori si guardarono stupefatti: “Ma cosa sta facendo quell'ermellino?” “Pare che segua qualcosa…” “'Sta a vedere che segue le gocce di sangue del nostro camoscio….” “ Ma va….” Nel giro di pochi secondi, pochi balzi, l'ermellino faceva già mulinare la linguetta nella ferita aperta sul ventre del camoscio mentre la masticazione di Aldo e Tuann s'era già arrestata da un pezzo... Agli amici del Consorzio Forestale A.V.S. che oggi ripulivano il sentiero per il Lago delle Monache. Grazie!

Thanks Pierpaolo for your always enthusiastic support! I am glad that these few lines are able to contribute to convey the deep sensations that the various encounters arouse within me involving a little ' even those who watch from home.
Thanks Claudio of the passage and especially for involving me, always up there, at 2300 altitude, in this unpredictable experience teaching me the importance of knowing how to wait... Waiting to be able to return up there again together, I wish you a good Sunday! ;-)

You were very lucky to cross this little devil of the mountains, which sometimes after hours and hours of waiting you do not see
Mai.Complimenti Ruggero excellent shot in an environment appropriate to the Ermine. But above all I gave myself a magnificent cue to perhaps flush out the ermine. I offer a greeting Mario.
