Pilgrim with prey sent on May 12, 2017 (13:42) by Mauro Arzillo. 38 comments, 1887 views.

at 500mm, 1/4000 f/5.6, ISO 200, hand held. Riserva Naturale Regionale Foce Isonzo, Italy. Specie: Falco peregrinus

Maggio 2017 – Ho accompagnato un amico fotografo naturalista piemontese all'Isola della Cona; siamo arrivati di buona mattina ed abbiamo fatto l'intero giro dell'area fotografando Cavalieri d'Italia, Aironi, Limicoli ed altro.- Ci siamo poi fermati in un capanno da cui si potevano ammirare da pochi metri alcuni Cavalieri d'Italia e leggermente più distanti dei gruppetti di limicoli.- Stiamo quasi per andarcene quando una parte dei limicoli partono in volo apparentemente spaventati da qualcosa.- Pensiamo al passaggio di un rapace; un falco di palude; una poiana . . . . . . il gruppetto di limicoli sorvola l'intero specchio d'acqua e poi si riposa quasi nello stesso punto da cui era partito.- Una decina di minuti di apparente tranquillità, poi tutto si svolge in pochissimi secondi; tutti gli uccelli posati a terra si involano disordinatamente all'unisono spaventati e lanciando gridi d'allarme; un “missile” piomba davanti a noi sul gruppo di limicoli alzatisi in volo e ci passa poi letteralmente sopra la testa.- Alzo istintivamente la macchina, inquadrando non so nemmeno io cosa, e scatto a raffica . . . . . salvo tre foto, di cui questa è quella che preferisco.- Nessuna bravura da parte mia; mi sono solo trovato casualmente al momento giusto nel posto giusto; tutto il merito va all'attrezzatura; in primis alla mia nuova D500, acquistata qualche giorno prima ed alla sua prima uscita sul campo.- Direi un ottimo modo per testarla ed inaugurarla

Thank you :-)
I confess that everything happened so fast that when I clicked I did not even know what I was framing; That it was a pilgrim I found out in the shots.-

Thank you Marco, but as I said, no excuse for me;
I framed a "dark spot" that only in the photos I realized what it was;
All that happened in those short moments was really an exciting scene of nature that took more value once "codified" with a posteriori calm.-
A greeting

The settings you were right, especially with regard to shooting time, were only for the unpalatable fire. You've documented a very interesting predation :-)

Mauro, great in flight capture with prey. Like the pose/expression and the fine detail. Nicely done. Wally

Very good !!! Do not be deprived of it, for only to be able to frame it, despite the repetition of the action and the speed of execution of the pilgrim, for me it is a technical merit that belongs to you. A greeting
