Conoscete il canto del tordo bottaccio? L'avete mai sentito?...aah... è qualcosa di meraviglioso! Le sue note, forti e delicate al contempo, diffondono fragranze di ginestra e caprifoglio. E poi, a volte, al suo canto avvengono prodigi, incantesimi, ...magie, come accadde in nostra presenza in una irripetibile serata di maggio in Terra d'Abruzzo. Roberta ed io ne individuammo la zona di canto ritornando da una escursione e il tardo pomeriggio successivo ci appostammo tra le accoglienti radici affioranti d'un manipolo di vetusti faggi con l'intenzione di riprenderlo. Nell'attesa di udire la sua melodia scrutavamo le fronde dei faggi, ma abbassando lo sguardo notai per un istante, senza poterne valutare le effettive dimensioni e distinguerne il colore, una coda sparire dietro un arbusto. <<Una volpe!>> sussurrai a Roberta dandole un buffetto al ginocchio e indicandole in che direzione puntare la sua videocamera. Imbracciai la mia partner digitale e l'indirizzai nel punto dove presumevo sarebbe sbucata la volpe. Ero prontissimo allo scatto, la "rossa" non avrebbe avuto scampo: l'avrei fulminata. Il tordo bottaccio iniziò a cantare, e mentre l'aria si profumava di ginestra e caprifoglio nella reflex avveniva la magia: invece dell'emblema della furbizia nel mirino si concretizzava l'essenza simbolo della libertà. Non avevamo mai avuto un soggetto così magnifico tanto vicino! <<Bella grandicella la tua volpe!...>> ironizzò poi Roberta mal celando nella voce l'emozione <<...mi sa che è di quelle che ululano.>> Quella sera non fotografammo il tordo bottaccio: ne carpimmo le ali per volare via con il nostro lupo. Nessuna foto è ritagliata, focale@400mm. distanza del soggetto 30m. circa, ciao, Fabio

Fabio great meeting and complimented the story that makes you to enjoy all the emotions of those moments almost as if we were there with you! The emotion must have been enormous also because I see the shooting data that you took to ISO8000 and f11 that probably were the parameters suitable for the shots to thrush. You could have come down with the ISO and set the aperture to f8 light that you had anyway but I think that in a moment like that you make it hard to be vermente transparencies. See you soon, Ivan

Beautiful story but mostly wonderful meeting. And the photos that we propose is not at all bad for a subject so incredibly close (net of technical comments). Congratulations !!

I know how it feels to experience it firsthand. I think that a meeting with the Apennine wolf is worth much more than a meeting with the wolves of the lands of Alaska or Yellowstone, both for their rarity as for their elusiveness. Great story, and nice pictures, if you think the emotion you felt when shooting. ;-)

Ivanmazzon, Marcom, Pinnabianca, CADL Amariei Alex and I'm very pleased that you enjoyed also the four lines that introduce the photos and, believe me, it went just as described in the story. It was a great and unexpected stroke of luck. Only the smell of broom and honeysuckle was an optional extra: -D. Thanks to all of the comments and the transition.
Hello, Fabio
