Huge Eagle Swats Photographer’s Drone Out of the Sky


While filming in Melbourne, Australia, aerial photographer Adam Lancaster captured this awesome footage of a wedge-tailed eagle, with a 6-foot wingspan, effortlessly “punch” his drone out of the sky with her talons.

“This is the last thing a small bird sees when a Wedge-Tailed Eagle decides that you are dinner… The eagle was fine – she was massive. I hung around overhead so I got a really good look. The eagle’s health was my main concern.”
