    She's so beautiful, the slow motion capture of her wings looks like a beautiful expressive dance being performed

    Tries to feed the Goshawk a water balloon.

    Well, you're in for a treat then... We've got a special peregrine and raven film coming up, filmed from a tracking vehicle, make sure you subscribe and watch out for it! Also make sure you check out the films we made with Red Bull, including the view from the back of Moses the peregrine...

    this is an amazing video. You can really see how the bird is swinging herself up to put as much momentum into the first impact of the lure and all of the minute adjustments to her wings and tail to keep her on course.
    It happens all the time with raptors but all too quickly to really appreciate it. Thanks for doing this video.

  • @Nexus2Eden
    @Nexus2Eden 10 лет назад +4

    I'm sure she thought that was one juicy prey - blood spraying out all over the place. lol

  • @albatrocycle
    @albatrocycle 10 лет назад

    The complexity of the movement of all the wing's joints and feathers is mind-blowing and can only really be appreciated in a video like this. The bird's wings change shape and orientation in endless ways. No wonder human attempts to build machines to imitate this have so far failed miserably.

  • @LeadVultures
    @LeadVultures 11 лет назад +1

    Oh my goodness, ravens, I can't wait. Watching out for that and more! Absolutely incredible animal videos, but you already know that. These detailed renders are invaluable for any artist and I couldn't thank your team more for your time and dedication to bring this footage to us. A+

  • @TheSwampHumanoid
    @TheSwampHumanoid 10 лет назад +12

    Throw a distraction at the same time to see her choice would be nice. Or make her catch something inside a frame that she need to fly through

    • @bkjeong4302
      @bkjeong4302 8 лет назад

      +TheSwampHumanoid This is the same goshawk they used in the "goshawk flies through hole" video. The outcome is blatantly obvious-the she will succeed.

  • @DTZinatbakhsh
    @DTZinatbakhsh 10 лет назад +4

    I like that at 5000fps you can see the feathers turn out and as she brings her wings back up they turn back one by one before she flaps again. I wonder if you can see some interesting flight patterns at higher speeds.

    This is THE MOST INCREDIBLE video I have EVER seen!! I have hawks around my house here in South Carolina, USA...It is just amazing to see this bird in flight and the way each movement is carefully crafted to make the most of her catch! YOU GUYS ROCK!! I am sharing this video with the world!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!

  • @issis666
    @issis666 8 лет назад +1

    I'm reading MacDonald's "H is for Hawk" so was delighted to find this video ... I've never understood people taking pleasure in seeing predation, so am very glad you did not use a live animal, or even chunks of dead animals... That said, I was surprised that this supreme predator was willing to repeat "capturing" non-prey objects.

    I would love to see what the Goshawk does in the wild, catch a bird in midair. In sloooo-mo of course. Feathers flying everywhere!

  • @ELApollo66
    @ELApollo66 10 лет назад +1

    Amazing shots! I'd love to see top down footage too, the dynamics of those top feathers as the airflow changes is one of my favorite things in nature :)

  • @threenorns3
    @threenorns3 11 лет назад

    this is absolutely spectacular! i live just south of algonquin park so large birds (eagles, hawks, turkeys, vultures, etc) are not a rare sight but it's breath-taking to be this "up close and personal" - next time i see a black dot in the sky, i'll know what is happening!

    Amazing. I think one of these (or a cousin?) was staying with us in the Mojave Desert. (S)he had a problem with one wing, so stayed very close, but didn't have trouble catching prey. Used to really enjoy spending time with her as she sat in a tree outside the house, looking in. She seemed as fascinated by me as I was by her.

    The part that amazed me in the final 5000fps shot, was that the Goshawk did not just pop the balloon. She caught and carried the entire popped balloon's rubber casing in a fraction of a second DURING its explosion.

  • @rustbucket94
    @rustbucket94 11 лет назад

    If you really want to push the envelope, I believe the pistol shrimps' stike is the fastest thing in the animal kingdom. You might have to film at 10, 000 fps or more to see the cavitation bubble it produces.

  • @IamCrys
    @IamCrys 11 лет назад

    Awesome show!!
    We have some ideas:
    1. Cat preparing to attack or being dropped from a height and landing on its feet.
    That would look amazing in slow-mo
    2. A mosquito piercing the skin and sucking blood!!!!

    What I see is the hawk slamming on the brakes at the final moment; all that kinetic energy gets transferred to the talons, like a 18 wheel truck slamming into a VW bug.

  • @johnperkins5725
    @johnperkins5725 9 лет назад +1

    Is it possible to photograph these birds against a neutral grey background rather than black? The video is really great and I think you would see even more of the bird against a lighter background - thanks for sharing your work.
