The White... in summer. sent on 24 Giugno 2026 (15:47) by Dario Pautasso. 19 comments, 229 views.

at 600mm, 1/1250 f/6.3, ISO 500, hand held. Monviso, Italy. Specie: Lagopus mutus

La fotografia naturalistica vagante ha il bello (ed il brutto) che non sai mai quando l'occasione ti si presenta: sono in cammino dalle 5 del mattino, ho preso diverse ore di sole cocente e nel pomeriggio ho dovuto trovare un riparo di fortuna per un breve ma intenso temporale di calore; verso le 7 di sera le mie gambe mi comunicano che è l'ora di rientrare. Decido di lanciare un ultimo sguardo verso valle da un balconcino di roccia a circa 2500 metri...il sole scende dietro le montagne alle mie spalle e la linea del tramonto sale sempre più alta sui versanti che mi stanno di fronte. Improvvisamente un verso rauco e acuto mi fa letteralmente sobbalzare: una pernice bianca con timone e alettoni spiegati va a rifugiarsi circa 30 metri sotto di me, in un anfratto nella roccia. Ovviamente la manco, ma ho ancora il teleobiettivo sollevato quando un secondo soggetto si fionda nello stesso punto, concedendomi un unico singolo scatto di questo bel momento con una specie così rara, almeno dalle mie parti... #ParcodelMonviso
