Absolutely impressive, no doubt about it. Especially the way she took a less direct route in order to take advantage of air currents. But the guy was waving and flailing around which would have made it much easier for her (maybe?). They should have tried again with him remaining still. It would have been really interesting to see how much of a role movement plays in an eagles ability to identify targets.
I would imagine you're right and that it has a lot to do with it. We work the same way. For example, if you're ever stargazing and want to look for a meteor shower or satellites, the best thing to do is pick one single star in an open part of the sky and just stare at it... eventually if something does appear your eyes will immediately dart to it - almost instinctually without thought.
Totally right They can spot a white mouse twitch a whisker in a snowy tundra I'm sure it can spot a man yelling and waving frantically on top of a hill 😂
Weren’t you listening? We humans only have 200,000 cones in our eyes, they stood that close because any further and they wouldn’t be able to see each other
Ummm its actually done by microscopes, and AI... Basically u need to zoom in enough to accurately identity just 1 cone shape or rod shape... Then feed it into the computing software, and it will identity the rest for u... With today's tech, apart from brain, and soul, nothing inside our body is unknown...
I wonder what Lloyd's near-UV signature looked like in comparison to the surrounding moorland. In addition to having outstanding visual acuity, eagles (like all birds) have a 4 types of cones (we have 3), one of which is sensitive to near-UV light. So while we saw Lloyd as wearing a drab green outfit which blended in well with the environment, it's possible that for the eagle he was far more conspicuous.
Y’all are killing me. You finally start listing the episodes. Which is great. So I just went to watch this episode. “Sorry, currently not available” lol. But anyhow, thanks for the clip.
@Eduardo V C Sounds funny, but that’s the best way I could describe it. Their entire body has been organically designed and optimized through evolution to fly.
"WOOOO HOOOO... WHAT A BIRD YOU ARE!!!" I felt that man's excitement and triumph more than any big staged Hollywood movie set piece. Actually pumped my fist in the air he got me so fired up. Magnificent
Fun fact: there is no limit on eyes. We can see anything as long as it is A) not obstructed B) reflecting enough light and as long as we are not blind or with poor vision. But we arent able to process everything we see in detail. We can see stars light years away, we can see the surface of the moon, etc.
We went out to the river and a Canadian Honker spotted another Canadian Honker from across the river and flew over and chase it off, the river is 400 feet wide there, we were shocked their eyes are so powerful !!!
A BBC tem sempre vídeos que nos fascinam ...isto é simplesmente incrível... de uma linda espécie que tem uma visão invejável e fenomenal! Importante...o projecto ...para salvar esta imponente ave que dá uma leveza aos céus!!
It would have been nice to continue the experiment till the point of failure. Perhaps standing the participant 4km, 6km, 8km, 10+km away. Until we hit a sweet spot where the eagle can no longer see it's owner and aimlessly flies about. In these repeat experiments, it would be nice if the man doesn't make noise or motion (waving).
'Spotted' ? May be & may not & may be partially. Sense of smell ? Sense of feel & hearing ? Commentator mentioned! Seems the Eagle is able to establish wind flow pattern & directional & intensity of the wind current. Overall, so lovely to see the reunion of the Eagle & Lloyd
It's not the doubling of cones per square millimetre that explains the superior vision. We know from human perception and photography that what counts is "linear" comparison and if we double the area resolution, then we get on SQRT(2) linear improvement. This is why we measure optical resolution (AKA sharpness) in linePairs per millimetre (since "ages"). In a digital camera, each photosite is scanned individually and each contributes to resolution. In the human eye, in the retina, cones are connected as vectors or lines, in what we see. We could call that a form of lossy data compression. At the cone level we may have 120 MegaCone resolution, but loads of cones being on one nerve reduces that by a lot. From the 120 per eye we may end up with 6 or less for combined eyes. Because we see in "live view" and also derive information from subsequent "images" or "frames" in movie/photography terms, the resulting apparent resolution is perceived as higher. The important point here is the optical nerve. In the human case, it is very thin relative to the diameter of the retina. Simply put, we need to learn to deal with that vector information and our brains process visual information accordingly. In short distances, our auditive brain is much faster than our visual. If we then compare with these raptor birds, AFAIK, they have each individual cone connected into the brain. This changes image processing from lossy compressed vector data of humans into lossless bitmap data - in IT terms. As the MegaCone resolution is twice as high, and the losses are zero, these birds end up in the Giga resolution of two eyes combined, rather than a measly dozen or less in humans. The implication of a very thick optical nerve, potentially with the diameter of the retina, is that the eyes cannot move in their sockets and these birds need to turn their heads around instead. Which they do.
The natural world never ceases to amaze with its incredible abilities. The superpowered vision of eagles is a testament to the marvels of evolution and adaptation in the animal kingdom.

Was wondering if anyone was going to mention what immediately came to my mind. Just shows how little wind power is actually relied on. If it was an integral part of the grid, no way could they turn it off! Just imagine being at work, on your computer, then suddenly losing everything due to a loss of power, due to a potential bird strike miles away.
@@davidturnage3467 The power from a single source is never entirely reliable. This is particularly true from wind and solar, but is even the case for none internment sources like conventional hydrocarbon based powerplants where unplanned technical issues can disrupt production. It's how power sources are integrated which determines grid reliability, and while more is needed to maintain reliability with intermittent sources (storage, dispatchable generation, larger distribution of sources, etc.), if integrated properly grid reliability need not suffer.
I’m wondering if s high pitched sound coming from a turnine wouldn’t be a cheaper way to avoid bird collisions. After all, if the don’t see the turbine, they can still hit it when it’s not turning
Very considerate! However, isn't it more productive to install loudspeakers on top of wind turbines to play some kind of warning sound instead of shutting down turbines when eagles are spotted in the area?
I was so astonished when I saw wind turbines which they shut down when they detect bird who can fly. This is such a friendly environment technology that every company must include themselves.
@@puppergump4117 When I saw your message, I was so astonished that I thought you were crazy or something like that. Because, nuclear energy affected so badly to environment, like hiroshima. And unfortunately none of plants or animals cannot live in these areas due to reason of nuclear, as loads of bad particulates spread to these areas. Also some countries,like Germany, are try to close nuclear energy due to these reasons.
@@mustafaisilar4466 Well nuclear energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy. It's just so efficient because the nuclear part is just for generating heat. That heat is transferred to water, which uses a steam powered turbine to get the electricity. There's almost no biproduct from this. And remember, nuclear power sources can last centuries. They're used in aircraft carriers and some giant subs because of this. And the people that work on those don't get irradiated because they have competent people taking care of things.
@@mustafaisilar4466 Nuclear energy is different from a nuclear bomb I think. What happened in Hiroshima isn't because of a powerplant, its because of America dropping a bomb to wipe out the entire landscape. Nuclear energy is actually incredibly efficient and clean to the environment. Some countries like France have over 70% of their energy sourced by nuclear energy. It's a shame nuclear energy gets a stigma of being bad for the environment and scary because of nuclear bombs considering how much better it is than coal or really any other alternative.
Nuclear is cleanest source of energy, it is only harmful when leaked but that can be mitigated also. Just imagine how much carbon we leak from coals and fuels everyday compared to a fully secured nuclear that will last a century.
We don’t know if the eagle spotted him as soon as it got out of the cage or a few hundred yards down the line. It’s hard to say how far she really spotted him from.
It's not going to happen in my lifetime, but when the day comes where doctors can transplant a complete eye, people are going to want to have eagle eyes for real.
I see things on timber floors that I try to point out to others and they don’t see it lol even my boss who’s done it over 20 years. Eyes are just trained to see scratch patters sanding floors but my eye sight is normal or less then normal since my eyes are dry a lot from weed smoking

I believe that eagle indeed had no problem seeing Lloyd, but his shouting ruined the experiment.

I am still confused. Can't they see them when they are far away already?
They can see the turbines yes, however they can't see/predict the movement of the blades since they're coming from above the bird.
Coz they like it
