Amazing video of an Eagle Owl - 1000 frames per second

Amazing nature - The Eagle Owl

 

Awesome vid Dim, I was lucky enough to hold one of these at a local falconry centre called The Owl Experience; The Owl Experience Bird of Prey Centre

The one I held was a male which was impressive enough but the female which wasn't tame enough was twice the size and to think there are isolated populations of these living wild in Britain - brilliant :thumb:

Here's me :D;

 

Nice one Dim

 

When I was about 12 or 13 my friend at the time's dad had a pair (M+F) in the back garden very pretty birds and huge!

 

strangely, folklore in south africa has it that owls are bad luck

it is believed, that if an owl perches on your house roof, someone in that home, or a close relative of someone who lives in that home will soon pass

and then, in some countries like the UK, they are regarded as a good luck omen
