Dendrocygna javanica sent on July 05, 2023 (23:00) by Vito Serra. 36 comments, 731 views. [retina]

at 600mm, 1/3200 f/8.0, ISO 4000, hand held. Oasi la Rizza, Italy.

La Dendrocigna di Java o Anatra fischiante minore o Dendrocigna minore (Dendrocygna javanica Horsfield, 1821) è la più piccola rappresentante delle anatre facenti parte del gruppo denominato “dendrocigne”, appartiene all'ordine degli Anseriformi (Anseriformes), alla famiglia degli Anatidi (Anatidae). Il nome del genere Dendrocygna deriva dal greco “dendron”= albero e dal latino “cygnus”= cigno e quindi significa “cigno arboreo” in riferimento alle abitudini arboricole della maggior parte delle specie appartenenti a questo genere e in riferimento all'aspetto peculiare di queste anatre che in qualche modo ricordano dei piccoli cigni. Il nome della specie javanica si riferisce alla terra d'origine: indie orientali, isola di Java e aree limitrofe. Conosciuta anche con il nome di anatra fischiante di Java o dell'India, la specie, è abbondantemente presente nelle giungle tropicali e nelle paludi di pianura del subcontinente indiano e di gran parte dell'area sud-tropicale dell'Asia (Asia sud-orientale) con distri- buzione estesa in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malesia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cina. La dendrocigna di Java è la specie più piccola del genere e pesa circa la metà del rappresentante più grande (450- 600 g al massimo). Ha una lunghezza di circa 36-40 cm ed un'apertura alare di 70-74 cm circa. È una dendrocigna dall'aspetto delicato ed elegante. Specie molto elegante dal comportamento docile e quasi fiducioso. Questa dendrocigna vocalizza molto, risultando rumorosa, particolarmente quando è in volo; Stormi di centinaia di migliaia di individui erano descritti a cavallo tra il 19° ed il 20° secolo, quando le anatre venivano vendute a migliaia nei mercati di Calcutta, Singapore e Saigon. I grandi stormi attualmente presenti nel continente indiano non sembrano raggiungere le vaste concentrazioni descritte nel 1800. La popolazione globale è stimata essere 100.000 esemplari o più. Nonostante queste anatre siano incantevoli e deliziose da allevare non sono, inspiegabilmente, poi così diffuse tra gli allevatori amatoriali. La specie è minacciata dalla perdita di habitat idoneo, dal bracconaggio e dall'urbanizzazione selvaggia;

Excellent flying shot Vito. Excellent detail, it is certainly a modest crop. I'm curious about the country where you took the picture. :-)
Greetings
Claudio :-)

Thanks @Riccardo and Claudio.
PS Claudio, I took the shot this evening around 19.30 (cloudy, zero light) in the former rice fields of Bentivoglio (Bologna) with my extreme disbelief, it was camouflaged in the midst of a flock of wild geese also arrived in the afternoon who knows where, finally all the various species are coming, finally we return to shoot! As for the file, it is a crop from 6000X4000@3750X2500 but I did a little while ago one also at 3000X2000 (50% crop) and I think it came much better than what I published that I do not remove now that you have already commented on it ... :-)

Thanks for the answer Vito, I had missed it because I'm busy peeking at my latest photos in Puglia.
Your sighting is absolutely exceptional, I would give the 250 mega in heronry (well, almost... :-D ) for being with you in front of this wonder! It is therefore a wonderful wild specimen! :-or
The file of the 6dmk2 is excellent, obviously croppabilissimo for use on the net. I used for 4 years the 24 mega of the a9 and the transition to the a1 was more a whim but combined with a much improved operation. The file of 24 mega is fine for our genre also because it is more ductile and less noisy at high iso.

I absolutely agree with you, in our beautiful photographic genre, 24mpx are perfectly balanced.
PS mine is called Canon R6markII (not 6dmk2), that was a reflex of a few years ago, you still have flashes of old memories when you were in canon, since then many things have changed, for the better dear Claudio ... :-) 8-)
Thanks Massi :-)
