I love the way she smacks the guy with her wing at 1:57 like 'get the f** off me' lol . such attitude!!

[@Pumpkintiti]

She's magnificent and a fierce to be reckon with. To top it off, she's gorgeous

[@Birgus_Latro]

*a force to be reckoned with

[@matthewsykes4814]

She is stunning, so beautiful. I got my interest in Gos' from a book.... H is for Hawk, a brilliant read. I aren't a falconer, just a very curious guy. Would be amazing to go hunting with one

[@terrytyrannosaurus7354]

This is my absolute favourite show on Sony BBC Earth. And as a *MASSIVE* Linkin Park fan, I could control my excitement when I heard the "What I've Done" instrumental at 0:41 - 1:16. I mean, I literally have that song as my phone's ringtone. And for a moment I thought, did my phone ring or something ? Rest in peace, Chester Bennington. You were an absolute legend, screw those people who call you a coward. 🤩🔥

[@Anna-hd3nw]

Love the music of her flying

[@galaxytraveler5779]

"Magnificent creature" is usually the first thing that comes to my mind to describe birds or prey like the goshawk. I remember having an interaction with one as a kid, while on a mountain hike with my father. I found a hawk feather off the side of the trail and not long after he said it was good fortune to find one, a hawk came out of nowhere and swooped down at me and flew off again. It seemed special at the time, but im sure it was just protecting a nest nearby and that close encounter was a warning. Amazing experience, nevertheless.

My Harry Potter patronus is a goshawk I just took the pottermore test

[@ajc1482]

Watching this before heading to the New forest to look for Goshawks, highly doubtful I'll see one but even a glimpse would be enough!

[@blogorgonopsid]

Good to see this! I've never seen the actual scene but I've read about it in Steve's Deadly 60 book.

[@olivierghislain3214]

L'impact est rapide merci pour cette vidéo d'un autour des palombes. Un bonjours de la Belgique

[@codycox2685]

Goshawk = Ferrari of the woods with talons.

[@hunterbland3180]

Goshawk are so cool.

[@unicorndelhi9220]

Cool

[@jwd9297]

good

[@kazmosis5326]

Geez that chicken. I'm rewatching this with headphones on. Unknown new upstairs neighbour hear 'OMG' and 'ahh sht' out loud HAHAHA

[@Bokaj01]

The goshawk is a sparrow hawk on steroids.

[@theasianflameskimmer5119]

This would make sense because goshawks and sparrowhawks are in the genus accipiter so they’re closely related to each other this makes all accipiters have adaptations that specialize in their hunting like sparrowhawks, goshawks have short broad secondary feathered wings with slim primary feathers for fast maneuvers with a tail that used like an air-brake if the hawk needed to slow down. The only difference between sparrowhawks and goshawks is their size sparrowhawks being smaller than goshawks.

[@user-ev4uq5vz1d]

vrey nice

[@Nighthawk-5]

1:57 she say "no"

[@george5954]

Why do the comments get disabled on the dinosaur videos?

[@Sonnentau1]

where did you get the power for the TV in the mid of a forest?

[@amisfitpuivk]

You just stick the power cord into a potatoe. Or it has a battery like any other electronic device. Or the power of prayer made it work. Probably not that last one.

[@Sonnentau1]

Yes obviously... I totally forgot about the potatoes... human greatest renewable energy source

[@Rainkit]

Or a lemon.

[@sabrinajoseph2395]

A beautiful apex predatory bird of prey not to be messed with.

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

Steve “The Hawk Bearer” 😏

[@chrissnyder6787]

Not sure if it's a natural attraction, but I won't wear a yellow hat when hiking.

[@ostravia]

8 Times, that is very prescice.

[@MR.AGENTMADDOX007]

Gohawk is cool bird in world😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@blab1231]

Shoutout to massive attack because it makes me happy

[@alfredo962905]

When was this filmed? 1990? The camera footage looks really old. A GoPro would've been better.

[@yunikage]

"lets see our hero in action" bruh thats not a hero, thats the monster the hero kills at the end. thats a nightmarish death machine in bird form.

[@tnynfox1669]

As if any hero ever could kill the nightmarish death machine. Or would.

[@martiniv8924]

Privileged to have seen a Goshawk chase it’s prey (pigeon) kill it and eat it, it caused pandemonium the way it chased its prey, other birds scattered, one small bird hit the conservatory window and stunned itself, around 20-30 minutes to eat it, only the two feet and a beak and a few feathers was left on the lawn

[@duncanbeard9460]

I came home once & saw a large raptor ripping up a pigeon on our back lawn so I sneaked carefully upstairs with binoculars. It was too far away for a good photo but I noted all features eg 'stripy pyjamas' then looked it up, definitely a Goshawk. What a beast! Afterwards, there was just one claw & a bit of intestine of the pigeon left. At the other end of the size scale, we once saw a Hobby take a Blue Tit in our front garden, it was so fast!

[@Rainkit]

Will admit, its not the most impressive thing I've see a goshawk do. They can do some amazing acrobatic stunts in half a second when chasing prey.

[@lindacartwright5100]

Yes, I agree. An opportunity was missed to film some really good footage. Goshawk are known for their acrobatic agility.

[@amisfitpuivk]

Don’t look now, but THERES A DINOSAUR ON YOUR ARM

[@mr.t.1237]

BEAR GRYLLS VS STEVE? like if u agre

[@apollofell3925]

You just had to ruin it with Linkin Park.

[@DropkickOfTheCentury]

'we're gonna see through her eyes' for 2 seconds.
