I know its not a British bird, but this is amazing footage. 1000 frames per second towards the camera. Amazing nature - The Eagle Owl

Nice shot. I would say it is British (always a controversial suggestion + not really wanting another debate on it)- even if only as a naturalised species. |

And those feet!!!!

But regardless of that, the sequence is outstanding.
It is a view that anyone who has gone on a photo shoot with one, (I did that recently at the Barn Owl Centre in Gloucester), has seen at normal speed. But not at the wonderful "slow mo" that was recorded in.
