Amazing nature - The Eagle Owl

The final few seconds are worth the wait.

Wow - that's a brilliant bit of footage!

Awesome!

Astonishing how steady the head is held despite the major muscle flexing to adjust flight; also a brilliant opportunity to see the down-like feather structures along the leading edge of the wing to render the bird's approach completely silent - they are inflated outward by the reverse airflow as it homes onto the target with its talons. Thanks fior posting it!
