the rat snake and bee-eaters sent on June 01, 2013 (20:29) by Carmelofior. 8 comments, 4148 views.

, 1/1600 f/7.1, ISO 250, tripod. Specie: Hierophis viridiflavus

avevo induviduato una location con un bel pò di fori dove nidificano i gruccioni. essendo il terreno chiuso contatto il propretario che gentilmente mi apre. monto subito un capanno e quasi subito inizio i primi scatti a questi magnifici uccelli. ma subito mi accorgo che un biacco visita i fori entra ed esce senza trovare nulla penso che cerchi qualche uovo ma lo vedo uscire con in bocca i resti di un gruccione, non e fresco non c'è traccia di sangue rimango perplesso sapevo che i serpenti non predavano carcasse.non mi so dare nessuna spiegazione qualcuno di voi sa dirmi qualcosa?

Una foto molto interessante.... Ti chiedo la gentilezza visto che hai l'originale che avrà sicuramente un dettaglio maggiore, ma il gruccione era già morto ? Sembra quasi smembrato e scarnificato il che vorrebbe dire che il serpente si sta nutrendo di una carogna (cosa che sappia io piuttosto insolita).

Me lo puoi confermare?

Grazie
Alessandro

A very interesting .... I ask the kindness you've seen the original that will certainly have a much greater detail, but the bee-eater was already dead? It seems almost dismembered and stripped which would mean that the snake is feeding on a carcass (which I know quite unusual).

Me can you confirm that?

Thanks
Alessandro

Documento interessante. Conoscevo casi di necrofagia nella Natrice dal collare, non nel Biacco maggiore.

Interesting document. I knew cases of black magic in the Grass Snake, not in Biacco greater.

grazie dei commenti a tutti. ;-)

x Istrice si il cruccione era già morto infatti come tu hai notato era quasi scarnificato. il biacco entrava nei fori e subito ne usciva rapidamente in questo foro e uscito dopo un minuto e rapidamente si è dileguato.posterò altre foto dove ritraggono quando esce. pensavo cercava uova invece la crisi ha colpito pure loro. MrGreen

nella galleria c'è un altra foto che si vede meglio il gruccione se hai bisogno di altro chiedi.ciao
carmelo

thanks to all of the comments. ;-)
x is the Porcupine cruccione was already dead in fact as you have noticed it was almost fleshless. the rat snake came into the holes and immediately there came out quickly in this hole and came out after a minute and quickly dileguato.posterò more photos portray where it exits. I thought I was looking for eggs instead the crisis hit, too. :-D
in the gallery there is another photo you can see better the bee-eater if you need anything else chiedi.ciao
