, 1/5000 f/5.6, ISO 800, tripod. Riserva Naturale Orientata della Vauda, Italy. Specie: Circaetus gallicus

Le uscite, causa lavoro e tempo pessimo, si sono fatte sempre più rare. Oggi finalmente un po' di sole e qualche ora libera mi hanno permesso di passare qualche ora nei luoghi che più conosco e più amo per fotografare la Natura. Dopo circa tre ore di appostamento, seduto per terra sotto un albero e coperto da teli mimetici, mi sono accorto che un grosso rapace si era posato proprio sulla mia testa, in cima all'albero che avevo scelto come nascondiglio. Quando all'improvviso è partito in picchiata alle mie spalle e poi è ricomparso dopo pochi secondi già molto alto e con la preda tra le zampe ho avuto un sussulto: il biancone, dalle mie parti, è un soggetto davvero molto raro e solitamente passa solo durante le migrazioni. Purtroppo non ero posizionato al meglio per la direzione che aveva scelto e gli scatti che sono riuscito a fare non sono un granchè, mala soddisfazione per l'avvistamento è davvero tanta. P.S. Però mi dò un bell'8 per il mimetismo: è stato almeno 20 minuti appollaiato perpendicolarmente sulla mia testa a non più di 4/5 metri.

It is rare to see it carrying prey with its paws. Usually the tail of the snake sticks out of the beak. Great meeting. :-)
Greetings Claudio :-)
