The BBC fixes tiny video cameras to raptors with impressive results. See a peregrine falcon perform 150mph dives, and 10g turns off a cliff; and extraordinary scenes as a goshawk flies at ground level through dense woodland.

Looks familiar?

  • Peregrine falcons are one of nature’s most interesting creatures. What speed and power. Can you imagine 10 G’s of force? I tried that once. That’s why I look this way!
