Flying with the fastest birds on the planet: Peregrine Falcon & Goshawk - Animal Camera - BBC

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.

why do they always need scientist to emphasis obvious things like this . where they maybe thinking of the f-14 tomcat or what? sometimes i read stupid things like. scientist now can prove its good for health to be happy. and such stupid quotes. its like wtf, everybody knows that

..the goshawk's p.o.v reminds me of the speeder bike chase from return of the jedi

Fantastic! For anyone interested more in flapping-flight physics please see my movies/website :)

Arabic Falcon with an Arabic strategy used in Falconry!

Very cool! It's a pity all the POV shots are so cut up. I'd like to see a full flight.

There are lot of things that "everybody knows" that are completely false. We need scientists to CONFIRM what is actually true and what is not. And for the things that are true, we need science to tell us WHY they are true. Clearly this is beyond your realm of understanding, and it's a damn good thing you're not a scientist.

We need scientists to prove it because we also "know" a hell of a lot of things that aren't actually true at all.

thank you for this comment, as soon as i heard that line i said "well thats a stupid thing to say" and i scrolled down to see if any one else agreed.

[Ahmed Mansour]

sure but it was common knowledge WITHOUT any scientific evidence to back it up.

i'm a computer scientist, and I say you're right. therefore a scientist confirms your theory. Also, the earth is flat
