Extraordinary footage from a state of the art camera mounted on a falcon's back.
The video has just emerged after being used in a scientific survey. It looked into the
physics of flight while the birds are hunting. We didn't say it was pretty.
The videos revealed to scientists that the birds use a kind of 'motion camouflaging'
as they zigzag trying to catch their next dinner.
The birds also use their wide field of vision to keep their eyes firmly fixed on their prey
while it moves in the air.
The film was taken in Belgium back in 2011.
