Il becco negli uccelli permette di svolgere innumerevoli compiti, fra cui, particolarmente nelle specie non dotate di artigli, quello di quasi surrogare la mano. In questo scatto, realizzato presso il Padule di Fucecchio, una Sgarza Ciuffetto nella luce del primo mattino trasporta in volo un pesce appena catturato. Capita di rado di assistere a scene come questa, di solito la preda viene inghiottita nel minor tempo possibile. Anche per il pericolo di furti.

The beak in birds can perform several tasks, including , particularly in species that have no talons , almost to substitute the hand. In this shot, made at the Fucecchio Marsh , a Squacco heron in the early morning light carry in flight a fish just caught. Rarely it happens to witness scenes like this, usually the prey is swallowed as quickly as possible mainly because of the danger of theft .
