Sea Eagle Eye View of Scotland
Quote | Reply
Just thought this was very cool. A white-tailed sea eagle with a camera on his back captured this video while flying over the west coast of the Orkney Islands.

That is so cool, thanks. I love that he's soaring most of the time and it obvious when he's flapping his wings.

I just had to google HTF they do it. Not surprisingly, it's fairly straight forward. They just design harnesses to strap an ultra-light camera a few inches above the bird between the wings. Then they train it to fly with them. Pretty cool.

I thought so... yes didn't even realize how most of the time it was just riding thermals until the motion it made when it flapped it's wings.
