“Sky Battle: Bird of Prey Takes Down Drone in Epic Mid-Air Attack”

A drone got more than it bargained for when it was attacked mid-air by a common kestrel. The dramatic footage shows the bird of prey swooping down and snatching the device before flying off with it. The drone was being operated by journalist Zhang Xue, who was filming in the Jiutian Fenglian Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie, China. The kestrel briefly carried the drone before dropping it into the forest below, mistaking it for prey. Zhang searched for the lost technology but it was later found by a group of hikers and returned to him.
