Amazing film clip. I am surprised both creatures didn't perish.
I love the loyal friend running alongside his pal in solidarity. :-)

Amazing,Trish and I pop up to Rutland Water a few times everumer to watch the Ospreys and they can be very impressive but as I said that was amazing.

What a great bit of film, thanks.

Good film, although it seemed a bit too contrived in my opinion.

[Baldric]

Did they bring in stunt doubles for the falls, do you think?

[Zacs-Master]

Wow. Amazing. I do think the bird which attacked the goaty-thing was different to the one which flew to the camera.

Blimey !

Incredible footage, thanks.

I think it was an eagle trained by a falconer. You'd be extremely lucky to get close ups with a wild eagle.

Love to see a wild eagle close up !

If you stop it @ 32/33 secs in, you can see the Jess on its left leg.

Thanks Retro, very gripping stuff!

I was surprised, just how long the eagle hung on!

Me too. Overdue for a talon trim methinks .
