Hello Memy,
The Licaoni are my favorite animals, and this season has been extraordinary. In our area there were four different groups, one of which consists of 18 pieces!
All quite confident, but this small group (six) even exaggerated more than one night they came to sleep on a mound behind my bungalow. They went away when I got up at 5:30.
Here you will find the edge of a pond that was drying up, full of catfish and tilapia trapped.
I was returning from the village after spending, bad light perfectly vertical as you can see from the shadows.
I stopped just to enjoy the moment of peace (no noisy guests in the car ...).
They were just a few feet from me, under a bush to make grooming. Suddenly throw up their ears and pointing something in dirrezione of the pool. I turn around and I see the monitor with something in your mouth that swim to the opposite shore.
"They" depart in the direction of the lizard, I start the car photographics on knees and turn on the Land to follow. In the first idling I get close to a hundred feet.
They are excited but do not really know what to do. The Monitor swollen throat, arches his back and prepares the tail which he uses as a whip to defend themselves. I begin to shoot and ... "Card full"! (1D and there are also two ...)
The monitor is whistling tail a couple of times, the wild dog understand that there is no need to insist and show the frustration running a bit 'around and pointing some "game" between them, but it's too hot and after a little back in the shadow of bush.
I have the time to replace the two cards and make a long sequence lizard nibbling his prey under a blazing sun. Could get out of the good B & W.
Small consolation!
Hello,
Andrea
Ciao Memy,
I Licaoni sono i miei animali preferiti, e questa stagione è stata straordinaria. Nella nostra zona ce n'erano quattro differenti gruppi di cui uno composto da 18 esemplari!
Tutti piuttosto confidenti, ma questo piccolo gruppo (sei) addirittura esagerato: più di una notte sono venuti a dormire su un termitaio dietro il mio bungalow. Se ne andavano alle 5:30 quando mi alzavo.
Qui si trovano ai bordi di una pozza che si stava prosciugando, piena di pesci gatto e tilapie rimaste intrappolate.
Io ero di ritorno dal villaggio dopo la spesa, luce pessima perfettamente verticale come si vede dall'ombra.
Mi sono fermato giusto per godermi il momento di pace (senza chiassosi clienti in macchina...).
Erano a pochi metri da me, sotto un cespuglio a fare grooming. Improvvisamente alzano le orecchi e puntano qualcosa in dirrezione della pozza. Mi giro e vedo anch'io il Monitor con qualcosa in bocca che nuota verso la sponda opposta.
"Loro" partono in direzione della lucertola, io mi metto la macchina fotografica sulle ginocchia e accendo la Land per seguirli. In prima col motore al minimo mi avvicino a una trentina di metri.
Loro sono eccitatissimi ma non sanno bene che fare. Il Monitor gonfia la gola, inarca la schiena e prepara la coda che usa come una frusta per difendersi. Incomincio a scattare e... "card full"! (e sulla 1D ce ne sono pure due...)
Il monitor fa fischiare la coda un paio di volte, i licaoni capiscono che non è il caso di insistere e manifestano la frustrazione correndo un po' intorno e accennando qualche "gioco" tra loro ma fa troppo caldo e dopo poco tornano all'ombra del cespuglio.
Io ho il tempo di sostituire le due schede e fare una lunga sequenza alla lucertola che sgranocchia la sua preda sotto un sole a picco. Potrebbero uscirne dei buoni B&W.
Magra consolazione!
Ciao,
Andrea

Really good document.
I followed only once a group of wild dogs in Tsavo West (Kenya) for an afternoon, without obtaining the decent shots. These animals are very interesting for their social behavior, I think it remained less than a thousand in the world. Congratulations to the meeting. Gran bel documento.
ho seguito solamente una volta un gruppo di licaoni nello Tsavo Ovest (Kenya) per un pomeriggio, senza ricavarne degli scatti decenti. Sono animali interessantissimi per il loro comportamento sociale, credo ne siano rimasti meno di un migliaio al mondo. Complimenti per l'incontro. |
