, 1/2000 f/7.1, ISO 500, hand held. Valtournenche, Italy.

lo cerchi ogni estate senza mai incontrarlo, poi la fortuna. di giorno il Succiacapre riposa immobile, affidandosi al suo piumaggio mimetico, sui versanti secchi semiaperti! qui ho avuto la fortuna di ascoltare il suo canto ronzante e dirigermi verso di esso. se ingrandisci l'immagine noterai dei peli, o meglio, delle Filopiume, attorno al becco. queste Filopiume sono una sorta di peluria che aiuta l'uccello a catturare gli insetti in volo, che sono la sua principale fonte di cibo. il becco del Succiacapre è molto largo e, grazie a queste piume, si trasforma in una sorta di rete per la cattura delle prede. 2 esemplari su Rami ed una fortuna incredibile!

Beautiful image with composition on the diagonals and in the center the Nightjar. Well camouflaged, it tried to hide from your eye, but you were not only lucky, you also had an ear to recognize it and find it.
The knowledge of the "prey" helps the "hunt"
From what you write I understand that you love nature and its inhabitants, this does you honor, then, a pinch of luck never hurts ;-)
Congratulations, Sergio

only after hearing his cry did I start looking for and noticing 2 on those branches.
its plumage similar (very) to the trunk did not make it easy to spot, then the 500 mm helped 8-)
I love love deeply since 1984!
thanks again
