, hand held.

Una precisazione , la Cotornice delle Alpi è uno degli Uccelli (fasianidi) Alpini piu' elusivi , scaltri e difficili da vedere . Il periodo giusto per cercarli e' questo , sono in amore ! Questa mattina decido di andare per l'ennesima volta a cercarli . Sono quasi due anni che non riesco a fotografarne uno . Sveglia alle quattro , per poterli scovare bisogna essere sul posto all'alba , i maschi cantano che e' quasi buio e se non li senti non puoi individuarli . Raggiungo la zona dove bazzicano ! Niente ! Neanche un canto!! e penso , mi sa che va buca anche oggi ! aspetto la luce e vedo in lontananza dei camosci , decido di avvicinarmi per non tornare a casa a mani vuote , metto i ramponi e inizio ad attraversare i canaloni con paglioni e tratti innevati , meglio non rischiare ! Mentre cammino faccio delle pause per vedere e sentire , niente ! poi in procinto degli ungulati mi piazzo !! non faccio in tempo a sedermi che sotto di me si invola un Cotorno !!! mi giro di scatto e cerco di seguire la traiettoria del volatile ,il cuore mi batte tantissimo , sono gasatissimo . Fortunatamente atterra a pochi canali da me !!! e' rara questa cosa , solitamente non vedi mai dove si posano !!! Abbandono subito i camosci e cerco una strategia per potermi avvicinare senza disturbarlo , ci vuole molta fortuna , arrivo su un zucchetto , mi siedo e inizio a sbinocolare , lo individuo !! Sono anni che aspetto questo momento , decido di non avvicinarmi !! La scelta e' azzeccata , inizia a salire il canale verso di me , trattengo le emozioni a fatica , foto dopo foto si avvicina sempre di piu' , e' il mio giorno !! L'unica incognita e' che sono controluce , non ho alternative ! Si avvicina troppo , il sole mi abbaglia e il Cotorno mi vede , c'e' lo stacco e il fruscio delle ali che svanisce questo bellissimo momento !! Rimango immobile per qualche minuto , il cuore batte fortissimo e l'adrenalina e' a mille !! Chi fa questo tipo fotografica mi puo' capire !!! Decido di andarmene a casa sono stracontento e appagato !!! non so se capitera' ancora !! L'importante e' viverle intensamente queste emozioni !! P.S.nel scendere l'ho rincontrato , pochi scatti e via , ero felicemente appagato !

I understand you very well, your story was perhaps more beautiful than the shot itself, at least for me.... Excellent portrait of a species that only a few have had the chance to have in their viewfinders, congratulations

Thank you Adnol and Fabrizio ! I understand you Fabrizio, they always do it under your nose! Too cunning! Sometimes it looks like a ghost! It disappears into thin air!!

Thank you all for the passage, Vicky, I have been looking for these animals for years, every year it is worse and worse, few broods !! Then they are the most cunning birds I have ever met, they are ghosts, even their song misleads you, you hear them on the left and they are on the right !! But the few times you see them on the ground it's a lot of stuff !!
