Rajada voladora / Flying stingray

Al petit port de La Digue (Seychelles), mentre esperàvem el ferry, vaig notar que alguna cosa saltava de l'aigua. Després de moltes fotos en va, finalment la vaig caçar! Una rajada! El què la feia tan difícil d'enganxar és que, si bé feia soroll en tornar a entrar a l'aigua, en saltar era completament silenciosa.

 

No n'estic segur, però crec que es tracta d'una spotted eagle ray (aetobatus narinari).

 

====================================================

 

While waiting for the ferry in the small jetty of La Digue (in the Seychelles) I noticed several splashes in the water. After a lot of empty pictures, finelly I got it! A stingray!

 

I'm no expert, but I thing this is a spotted eagle ray (aetobatus narinari). Later we found them in the fish market of Victoria.
