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.

    The Goshawk cam reminds me of Return of the Jedi's speeder chase through the forests of Endor (I had to search Bing to find the name of the planet, I don't walk around with this kind of information bouncing around in my head!)

    Oh shit! So you're telling me.... Fatburger might not actually sell burgers? SCIENTISTS! AWAY!

    The latest test shows that this falcon can now reach up to speeds of 242 miles an hour, 13 miles an hour away from matching the speed of a Bugatti.

    Do the strapped on cameras put the bird at risk?

    I just hope things like this "experiment" will not be a fad.

    @snake42063 it takes some sort of super scientist to know how to spell examining..

    Looks like the speeder bike scene in Return of the Jedi!!!

    a lot of people would claim everybody knows there is a god, even more so just a hundred years back - there is still no empirical evidence for it; that is why you hear these things, because now there is actual evidence to support what you might have known all along...that's what it's about, evidence, not assumptions.

    I've seen this many times before, but it never ceases to amaze me :O

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

    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.
  21. Hywel Nevard, at 05/19/2013 02:18, says:
    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.

    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
