Tiny spy cameras allow you to see some of the world's most magnificent birds in flight. Watch this video to learn how the fastest bird on the planet, the peregrine falcon, keeps control at mind-numbing speeds, and take a flight with the master of manoeuvrability, the Gos Hawk, as it flies through dense woodland. Great animal video from BBC wildlife show Animal Camera, with music by Gregory Paul.

  • this has to be the coolest bird alive!

  • very nice video shoot :)

  • Do a barrel roll! Oh you already did...

  • @TheMegsie1 ohh i see thank you very much really appreciate it

  • @justdgafit Birds of prey don't fly for fun, they only fly to hunt, escape danger or to patrol their territory. They have a working weight range, too fat & they'll just sit looking at you. Too thin & they'll starve or suffer. Falconners fly their birds somewhere in the middle, heavy enough to be healthy but hungry enough to want to work. They are flying for food & see the falconner as an avenue to it & are rewarded with a feed at the end of the session. I hope this helps.

  • Can someone tell me why they always come back? Why don't they just keep flying away?

  • on-board camera, how cool is that :)

  • Beautiful, simply beautiful.

  • @changethecurrent Have you seen BBC planet earth and BBC Life? Dont miss on Attenbrough's epic first ever series - Life on Earth 1979. All are on piratebay.

  • @aaqucnaona94 I look around at nature with amazement and feel such a strong disconnection from it I wonder how I could have ever evolved from it.
