Camera on a bird - level 2
A great video, which was taken in Belgium in 2011, emerged. It was taken by a camera which was fixed on a falcon’s back.
Scientists used the video to study falcons. The scientists were interested in the physics of flight while the birds hunt. The video revealed to scientists that the birds use a kind of “motioncamouflaging”, as they fly to catch their dinners.
The birds also use their wide field of vision to keep their eyes fixed on their prey.
Difficult words: falcon (big bird which catches smaller birds), camouflage (hide), prey (animal which is killed and eaten by another animal).
