Bird of prey blown out of nest

A bird of prey was caught on camera being blown out of her nest by a gust of wind.

The female Goshawk is being watched by thousands of people across the globe as she raises her chicks in Hampshire's New Forest.

A tiny camera in her nest that is perched 50 feet up a tree has recorded the ups and downs of the maternal process.



That included the mishap that saw the wind blow her from behind and turn her upside down and out tumbling of the nest.

With her feathers ruffled she managed to regain her composure and return to her chicks.

Peter Dobson, whose company Carnyx Wild specialises in videoing events like this, said the bird caught being blown from her nest was "probably a first".
