1/125 f/22.0, ISO 500,

Questa è l'ultima vipera osservata nel 2020, in una tiepida giornata di novembre, si tratta di una piccola femmina dalla livrea dorata piuttosto rara. Questo neonato di circa 10 cm si preparava ad affrontare il suo primo inverno, l'istinto la guiderà a trovare un rifugio sicuro nel terreno dove l'umidità manterrà la temperatura sopportabile, la neve abbondante di quest'anno sarà servita da isolante, proteggendo i quartieri invernali dalle gelate notturne. Spero tra poco di poterla osservare di nuovo mentre si scalda ai primi raggi della primavera. Un piccolo gioiello estremamente fragile costretto ad affrontare le mille insidie che la natura le riserverà. Questo esemplare rappresenta per me il simbolo di una speranza, la conservazione di una popolazione estremamente fragile, che a causa del progressivo abbandono del pascolo e il conseguente avanzamento del bosco sta perdendo ogni anno parte del proprio habitat. In lei ritrovo la speranza di poter mantenere intatto un ecosistema tanto meraviglioso quanto precario, posso solo aspettare e guardare da semplice spettatore le sorprese che la natura mi saprà offrire.

Congratulations again for the comments and photos. I too have places where I hope to find some specimens that have now become ' family'.

Thank you very much I try not to return too often to the "good" places once or twice a year so as not to excessively disturb the vipers, but having archives after a few years I happen to find the same specimens. After all, the vipers are rather territorial animals and if they find the ideal conditions they exploit the same portion of substrate for several times
