At the beginning of the rutting season, the forest starts to change.

The first calls echo between the trees, announcing that autumn has begun and that the time of the rut is approaching. Yet here, in his kingdom, he remains silent, standing among the trunks, alert and powerful, as if waiting for the season to fully awaken.

The days of the rut have begun. 🦌🌿🍂

All'inizio della stagione degli amori dei cervi, la foresta inizia a cambiare.

I primi richiami echeggiano tra gli alberi, annunciando che l'autunno è arrivato e che il periodo del bramito si avvicina. Eppure qui, nel suo regno, lui resta in silenzio, immobile tra i tronchi, vigile e possente, come in attesa che la stagione si risvegli appieno.

I giorni del bramito sono iniziati. 🦌🌿🍂

"Up On The Hill"

The way up to the top of the mountain is always longer than you think. Don’t fool yourself, the moment will arrive when what seemed so near is still very far.

THE CLUES THE FOREST LEFT BEHIND 🌲

Yesterday morning I went into the forest to photograph deer at dawn. Instead, I came home with a story I hadn't actually witnessed.

I found a roe deer jawbone along a small trail through the ferns. A few minutes' walk away, in another part of the forest, I found several teeth and bone fragments gathered beneath a tree. And that's when my little investigation began.

The presence of a common buzzard in the area, a feather I had found nearby, and the position of the remains made me wonder whether the bird might have carried part of the carcass into the tree to feed, dropping some of the remains to the ground.

And before that, perhaps, there had been a predation. Maybe a wolf. But this is only a hypothesis.

I wasn't there when it happened, so I can't know the exact sequence of events. And honestly, that's what fascinates me most.

The forest rarely gives you the whole story.

It gives you fragments. Tracks. Feathers. Bones. Signs left behind by animals that passed through long before you arrived.

A feather can tell you that a bird of prey was nearby. A bone can tell you that an animal died. A trail through the ferns can tell you that something passed that way. And sometimes, if you put enough clues together, they begin to tell a story.

What do you think happened here?
How would you reconstruct the story? 🦌🌲

GLI INDIZI CHE LA FORESTA HA LASCIATO 🌲

Ieri mattina sono andato nella foresta per fotografare i cervi all'alba. Invece, sono tornato a casa con una storia a cui non avevo assistito direttamente.

Ho trovato una mandibola di capriolo lungo un piccolo sentiero tra le felci. A pochi minuti di cammino, in un'altra zona della foresta, ho trovato diversi denti e frammenti ossei ammassati sotto un albero. Ed è lì che è iniziata la mia piccola indagine.

La presenza di una poiana nella zona, una piuma che avevo trovato lì vicino e la posizione dei resti mi hanno fatto pensare che l'uccello potesse aver portato parte della carcassa sull'albero per cibarsene, lasciando cadere a terra alcuni resti.

E prima ancora, forse, c'era stata una predazione. Magari un lupo. Ma questa è solo un'ipotesi.

Non ero lì quando è successo, quindi non posso conoscere l'esatta sequenza degli eventi. E onestamente, è proprio questo che mi affascina di più.

La foresta raramente ti racconta tutta la storia.

Ti offre frammenti. Impronte. Piume. Ossa. Segni lasciati da animali che sono passati di lì molto prima del tuo arrivo.

Una piuma può dirti che un rapace era nelle vicinanze. Un osso può dirti che un animale è morto. Una traccia tra le felci può dirti che qualcosa è passato di lì. E a volte, se metti insieme abbastanza indizi, iniziano a raccontare una storia.

Cosa pensi sia successo qui?
Come ricostruiresti la storia? 🦌🌲

"Aeronauts"

Birds are the most accomplished aeronauts the world has ever seen. They fly high and low, at great speed, and very slowly. And always with extraordinary precision and control.

Back to the wild. 🌲

My latest adventures took me to the forests and lakes of Finland, among bears, moose, elusive birds, and the breathtaking landscapes of Oulanka National Park.

Some encounters happened in the fading light of the northern evening, when the forest turned blue and the photographs took on an almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Now I’m back home, waiting for one of my favourite moments of the year: the red deer rut. The sound of a stag roaring through the forest is something I never get tired of hearing, and this year I’ll be experiencing it with my new photographic gear.

I’ve written about these adventures, the encounters, the quiet moments, and what comes next on my blog.

Di nuovo nella natura selvaggia. 🌲

Le mie ultime avventure mi hanno portato tra le foreste e i laghi della Finlandia, tra orsi, alci, uccelli sfuggenti e i paesaggi mozzafiato del Parco Nazionale di Oulanka.

Alcuni incontri sono avvenuti nella luce calante della sera boreale, quando la foresta si tingeva di blu e le fotografie assumevano un'atmosfera quasi onirica.

Ora sono tornato a casa, in attesa di uno dei miei momenti preferiti dell'anno: la stagione del bramito dei cervi. Il bramito di un cervo che risuona nella foresta è qualcosa che non mi stanco mai di ascoltare, e quest'anno lo vivrò con la mia nuova attrezzatura fotografica.

Ho scritto di queste avventure, degli incontri, dei momenti di quiete e di cosa mi aspetta sul mio blog.
