Golden Eagle with Rock Partridge (prey) sent on February 16, 2025 (21:34) by Nic1978. 14 comments, 356 views.

con Canon EF 1.4x III, 1/1600 f/7.1, ISO 320, hand held. Specie: Aquila chrysaetos

Questo istante rappresenta per me quanto possa essere imprevedibile e nello stesso tempo magica la fotografia naturalistica. La coturnice è sempre stato un soggetto per me molto particolare, quasi un fantasma che vive tra le cime, non ero mai riuscito a vederne una nonostante le tante ore trascorse in montagna. Mi trovato in luogo per me magico, il Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso, al quale sono veramente molto legato, nonostante la considerevole distanza che ci separa. Da un paio di giorni stavo facendo degli appostamenti per capire se in zona girassero soggetti interessanti e mi ero accorto che oltre a due gipeti (un adulto e un giovane) ogni tanto in lontananza compariva la sagoma di un'aquila che però dopo qualche volteggio riscendeva dietro alle montagne, verso un'altra vallata. Ad un tratto ecco sbucare da un canalone un grande uccello, ma non era un gipeto... Inizio ad alzare il pesante obiettivo e ad inquadrare il soggetto in volo... E' un'aquila, un bel esemplare di aquila e fin qui tutto normale, ma mentre la stavo inseguendo con l'occhio incollato al mirino della mia Canon R3 vidi che da dietro un gipeto stava provando ad inseguirla. Decisi di non cambiare soggetto e rimasi incollato a quello splendido esemplare di aquila reale. Pochi istanti dopo mi resi conto di aver fatto la scelta giusta in quanto riguardando la sequenza degli scatti sullo schermo della mia Canon mi accorsi di ciò che era intrappolato tra i possenti artigli... Eccola la coturnice. Un modo molto particolare di vederla per la prima volta dal vero.
