The sparrow hawk and its prey sent on January 14, 2023 (23:03) by Basketsam83. 11 comments, 532 views.

at 600mm, 1/250 f/6.3, ISO 16000, hand held.

Ero a casa, un amico mi scrive dicendo che davanti a casa sua uno sparviero si sta mangiando un piccione precedentemente predato...pianto tutto prendo la Sony e in 5min sono da lui...Lo sparviero è appena andato via ma dopo poco torna dalla sua preda, lasciata in mezzo alla viuzza che porta alla casa del mio amico... una scena incredibile alla quale assistiamo a pochi metri allo scoperto senza che lo sparviero abbia a che preoccuparsene...ho scattato oltre 1000 foto in circa 35minuti e dopo, una volta alleggerito il piccione, è decollato con la preda tra gli artigli in zona più appartata. Bellissimo, tanta emozione!
