Amazing work. Absolutely amazing animal.

Put your cursor on the hawk's eye as the video plays and watch how stable it is.

Great photography, many thanks. But I'm assuming you didn't take this from a drone, looking at the bokeh and flat profile I'm guessing you took it with a long lens and later from a balcony? Beautiful. Human technology has a long way to go to match nature. Thanks for sharing

I'm assuming you didn't take this from a drone...

I didn't take this at all, just stumbled onto it on YouTube. I was fascinated by how rock-solid stable this hawk can hold its head while hovering.

It's not merely rotation in pitch, roll, and yaw, but also displacement in x, y, and z-axis. The body and wings are moving all around, but the head at the end of its neck is nailed motionless to one spot in space.

OK thanks. Nature is quite amazing.

That reminds me of the famous Mercedes advert.

Great shot, hope he wasn’t eyeing of a drone?
