In un pomeriggio di primavera una volpe esce in cerca di cibo. C’e’ una bella gru che pascola nello stesso campo a breve distanza. La gru sarebbe un bel bocconcino per la volpe, ma si ignorano. Meglio non rischiare di rimanere ferita da un colpo di becco del grosso uccello. Morale: valutare sempre bene il proprio avversario. 🙂
Friend or Foe.
On a warm spring afternoon a fox is roaming in a field looking for food. A crane is pasturing just a few steps away. The crane would be so appetizing for the fox, but no way: the fox passes-by. Better not to get injured by the big bird’s beak. Moral of the story: always consider carefully your enemy.

Dopo “La Volpe e l’Uva”, ecco “La Volpe e la Gru”.
In entrambi i casi la Volpe desiste.

I’m surprised the crane didn’t fly away. Fantastic shots!

I stayed there quite a long time and the crane went away… not immediately. I lost sight of the fox, instead.

I was a little worried there. As you say, the fox wouldn’t take a chance of being injured we hope.

Amazing photos of the fox stalking its prey. The fox changed its mind no doubt and thought better of a battle with the big bird’s beak and size. Wise fox.
