at 400mm, 1/20 f/2.8, ISO 32000, tripod. Specie: Tetrao urogallus

L'Arena 3/3 – Ore 5:20. Un forte battito d'ali rompe la quiete, poi una planata pesante tra gli alberi: è sceso! Il cuore batte più forte. È ancora buio per scattare, ma dalla piccola finestra del capanno riesco a scorgerlo, appena visibile tra i tronchi e la penombra. Eccolo, il gallo cedrone. Immobile per un istante, poi inizia a cantare e a balzare con fierezza. Le piume gonfie, la coda a ventaglio, il petto e la testa tesi verso l'alto. La luce dell'alba inizia appena a filtrare tra i rami, accarezzando i riflessi metallici del suo piumaggio: sfumature cangianti di verde e blu. È maestoso, quasi irreale. In quel momento tutto si ferma. È come assistere a un frammento di tempo sospeso, un rituale antico che si ripete da millenni lontano dagli occhi del mondo. Mi sento piccolo, ma profondamente parte di questo equilibrio fragile e perfetto. La natura non è solo qualcosa da osservare: è qualcosa che siamo. Lo dimentichiamo troppo spesso. L'Uomo è Natura.

A fleeting appearance but enough to allow you this very valid shot of the capercaillie in its environment.
