Footage has emerged from Belgium of the hunting process of Peregrine Falcons.
Mounted cameras were attached to the birds of prey, enabling scientists to study the hunting techniques of the Peregrine Falcons.
The footage revealed that the birds keep the image of their prey in the same place in their line of sight throughout their pursuit, before they finally close in.
The video was collected by Eddy De Mol from the Company of Biologists and his colleagues Valerie Collet and Francois Lorrain.
The research was originally published in The Journal of Experimental Biology.
