- In this video, Gav gives us a look at a group of the birds of prey known as Red Kites as they swoop for bacon scraps outside a cafe.
This was shot at 2500fps (100 times slower than real-time)

For anyone who's curious about the tag on the birds! those are used by ecologist to help track the birds for reasons such as migration, population and nesting!
Yeah, great ecologists who hurt the birds' aerodynamics.
bioman the tags probably barely effect the bird
bioman what a clown, imagine crying over a tag on a bird😭
@@this-is-bioman As someone who lives near their reserve. They almost went extinct and in 20 years the population has increased 1000% starting from a single female. So... Yeah the tags have been very useful and they've been well looked after, trained to help hunt going into wild and have been seen across the UK now instead of localised to a small area of Wales
@@this-is-bioman I’m pretty sure ecologists are smarter than you
Would love to see a slow-mo of an eagle snagging a fish out of water.
No. 33, you are the star of the show!
33? x-files music
How can people dislike a bird of prey which nearly came to extinction
Daniel Summers I see these birds in London sometimes,
Daniel Summers ikr
They were re-introduced to Yorkshire about 12 years ago and it seems to have been very successful. They have become a fairly common sight where I live. They are beautiful birds and especially elegant flyers.
@@mrwhitenoise376 wow, I'll have to look out.
1:21 to 1:33 . You can see the feathers on its back rippling up in the turbulent air, while its slowing down. I wonder if feathers help produce more drag when the birds form is in that configuration. The birds back looks like it's surface area is increasing, thus increasing drag. Versus when In forward flight those feathers lay flat and smooth, which would be a lower surface area with lower drag.
It actually reminds me of certain race cars that have panels that open up to produce drag under certain situations. They open when low pressure areas are formed. maybe something similar is happening?
+Terrance Storey You are the smartest person in this comment section. Good job
+Terrance Storey You should read up on stalling. I'm pretty sure that's what we are seeing on the back feathers there. It is, as you said, detached flow on the top side of the "wing", due to a superior angle of attack than the critical angle of attack, which is particular to every wing shape.Cheers!
ProDucky Gaming Did you throw your keyboard down the stairs, to write that comment?
I know I'm answering this 6 month old question that you probably forgot about but in stock car racing(ie Nascar) there are flaps on the roof of the car that open up when the car is moving backwards or at a side angle at a high rate of speed. They both slow the car down by increasing drag(similar to the dive brakes on an old dive bomber) and force air into the holes to increase pressure to force the car to the ground in order for it not to flip. The more you know
I noticed that too and scrolled down the comments to find the first mention of it in order to give a like. So, there you have it. :-)
Ah yes, a majestic bird. Now eating soggy bits out of a carpark. Soon to become the overweight DeLorean of the urbanite pigeon jungle.
But a good vid all the same. Thnks!
Why does this look so more realistic than reality?
Pause at 1:11
THE BIRD LOOKS LIKE A GRIFFON
you're a griffin
It looks like Geoff's wife?
mrbibs350 Omg seriously. Lmao
Every time a bird swoops in with its claws out I just picture them saying "Imma getcha!"
2:18 looking at the bird as if its claws were hands makes it almost seem like a winged ghost XD
Woah your right with out the wings it would be a bird wraith hybrid
I like the way there's just a ton of red kits around. These are jolly rare...
They're not rare here in this part of Hertfordshire, loads and loads of them. I'm lucky enough to be able to sit in my conservatory and waste time watching them!
he did'nt film one bird in slow motion, Gav missed it
A lot of these slow motion animals are good references for animation.
Absolutely beautiful. thanks for the video.
And that is why I would love to be a bird.
FREE BACON AND GIGANTIC WINGS
Probably mouldy and full of ants. Plus you’d probably choke on a chicken wing, not to mention it would kind of be cannibalism to eat another bird.
*Attenborough voice* : And here we see the graceful red kite feeding on it's natural prey, a wet bacon sandwich. They do so much like the crusts.
I live in Oxfordshire and see these birds flying over head everyday and love watching them. This video is excellent.
Is that soggy bread I see?
It's amazing how these birds have successfully managed to bread again. They were becoming extinct from the 16th century right up to 1800s. Due to farmers complaining about loss of game and people fearing they would take babies causing people to cull them. They are scavengers they would very rarely take live food. They were protected in 1903 and are to this day.They are a magnificent bird and should be respected.
I live in High Wycombe, near the M40. There are 4 that regularly fly over my house. I am looking at them as I type. :)
such beautiful birds
are they factory made? because I saw the number 33 XD
YUP
Yes they are

Totally Incorrect information that you stated there regarding them being injured birds , sorry
, - they are a species that was being successfully re-introduced to UK using donor birds from European stock mostly, - and as such every bird,adult or juvenile, is tagged on the wings , injury is not the reason and various different colours of tags etc denote information such as male/female etc
Anyway - I think Koe Seer was just making a joke, not really being serious. . .
I know he was making the joke. I don't live in the UK so I wouldn't know, I live on the East Coast in the USA. Maybe they are tagged for different reasons but I have taken multiple birds to "clinics" not a vet but, similar, and they fix the birds problems then let them out to the wild again. They put tags on them that look exactly like those, that's the information I stated. Sorry if it was incorrect, as I said I don't live int he UK.
KoeSeer they were probably tagged because they were being watched by people that develop bird migration patterns
a video about wet bread?
your comment about nothing?
gavin has a thing about soggy bread...
The bits of food on the ground in this video is not bread, they are pieces of meat. Red kites of birds of prey and do not eat bread, they are carnivus and only feed on meat.
SharpeICE Sorry but you can easily tell that there is bread on the floor. You can see the crust surrounding the inner bread.
So there is bread there, that doesn't change the fact that red kites, don't eat bread. If you watch closely then you can see they do not pick up the bread, but the pieces of meat, in this case bacon, which was the entire point of my comment, so there was no point for yours.
Its weird how they don't look at the bacon
amazing. i know that the tags dont hurt them either, their just there so that people can track them incase they get hurt. nice video!
Thank you as a birdwatcher thi is fascinating I've seen them in the wild but only at full speed (obviously) so to see that is great thanks
Got them just outside my window every day. Beautiful. I'm so lucky.
guys it's fake, they brought trained birds, they forgot to remove the price tagg on the first one 0:51 -.-
Not a price tag...............
they have dose tags on because there aren't a lot left and all red kites have one even in the wild same with sharks and other endanger birds
cause i tottally wasn'tjoking Kappa :3
thebloodedbroadaxe Thats a flipping tracking tag! XD
I can woosh al, of you
what is the name of the song you use during the slow motion? I wan't to download it if possible.
Alec Atkinson Do you actually think they recorded the song while filming this at the same time?
Travitanium I think he meant that they slow down the song while they are EDITING the video :)
They have a Q&A video that explains how the music is a slowed down version of a free song on Apple.
oh. Thank you, I will check it out. It sounds so... Majestic when it is slowed down.
I actually like the sound when they start the slowmo
Some of them were tagged that's so cool
Red kites are my fave bird and this video amazed me, seeing them up close is quite hard to do, as the always fly quite high, so getting to film them taking food from the ground is a very rare opportunity, since the red kites nesting near where I live don’t really come down low, this is an amazing video!
If you can make it to high wycombe or Stokenchurch you won't be Disappointed. Because of the high hills they have there you do find them flying low. Ive even seen one walking believe it or not. They are magnificent though. Also my favourite bird.
"And number 33 swoops down for the- OOHHHH OHHH HE DID IT!!! THE KITES HAVE ONE THE BACON!!
This actually is pretty helpful for references!! Long story short, there's a race in D&D called Aarakocras. They're basically bird people, some having wings and arms, some just having wings, but they're all pretty interesting. While looking for what to make mine, the red kite looked like a pretty nice species! Sadly, most pictures I find are low quality or a picture with an angle that makes reference a pain. Since I'm making a semi realistic costume, the variety of angles in this video will be very helpful! (Not to mention, it's gorgeous to watch them in flight. Kinda reminds me of a swift and agile vulture. But the pretty cousin.
They look like miniature bald eagles.
Red kites are now quite common where I live in Yorkshire and they aren't miniature at all. If one flies right over your head you can see that they are really quite large birds.
They have a wing span of about 180cm so they aren't that much smaller than bald eagles.
wow, dat is very cool!
How can people dislike this? Great shots. The guy does say they "swoop for bacon and stuff" so in this case its clearly bread....You're as likely to see a Gull as a red kite in Buckinghamshire these days :)
1:39... i can't help but feel like the bird was like "YES... YES... ITS ALMOST MINE... FINALLY!!!!!!" XD
I was promised a slo mo video of a kites. Red kites.
What I got was birds. Just birds. No kites.
I'M TRIGGERED.
K Hizzy they are called red kites and don't talk bad about them they are majestic and went extinct once
They are like mini-eagles. They are mini-americas! Like Britain. lol.
We created you. Your ideas are ours. We pride ourselves on being more sophisticated and intelligent than you. You voted for G.W Bush....... Twice. Your a larger, fatter, less intelligent, trigger happy version of us.
someone seem´s to be pissed off^^
jay123 dude, as a fellow Brit, calm down. He didn't mean it offensively, although most of what you said is true
jay123
"Guys, I watched some ads from 2008, I'm an expert on America now."
You're an idiot.
thanks mr. phillips
We get hundreds of red kites near where I live as people feed them from the roof of there house and on our school field
Wow you can actually see the turbulence on the top of its back and wings as the bird goes into a stall. That is so cool! I wish humans had wings.
Throw chips in the air for seagulls to catch.
There's a few of these where I live, I'm lucky enough to look onto a field where they fly by daily. Beautiful to watch when they glide over the house.
water balloon slow motion video plase 5 milion fps video plase the slow mo guys
Rspb.org/redKite
There ya go!
Fun fact- red kites play dead if they feel threatened, and may roll over onto their backs- but only to tag you with razor sharp talons.
It would be cool if you filmed a barn owl in slow mo. Their flight is very unusual and has been compared to a butterfly. Their flight is virtually silent. You could start by building a barn owl nest box by a field and then film them flying in and out of the nest. The breeding pair will consume at least 2000 mice in one chick rearing season. Talk about eliminating Lyme disease vectors.
Wonderful !
Wonderful kite video
Thanks for sharing my dear friend 🌷🇮🇳🌷
Hey So-Mo guys you filmed at least 2 tagged birds. One on the left wing red tag 33 and another on right leg silver tag. Call the wild life bird people in the area and let them know that those birds are doing good and hunting well.
You might have filmed many others. They might find that information good.
If you read these film some pigeons at slo-mo please. Thanks.
Nature is really amazing! I mean, watching exploding eggs is fun, but nature provide the best fun, and in same time we can learn something new from such great work - slow mo guys did.
Look after 1:34 - bird keeping it's eye fixed on the target all the time until it is grabbed. Swirling feathers are another good example how nature can provide us opportunity to learn something in aerodynamics - more than any wind tunnel, and airplanes in it.
Thank you guys, and continue such great work!
Love the editing by the way!! Great god damn work guys! Very nicely editing nice use of sound with style and appreciation. I like it ! The Kites got me smiling thank you very much.
1:43 Fuck you I don't want bread I shall take this rock instead LOL
Dang dat first one was labeled... 33
It comes down again... It is in yellow this time but it is actually pink and yellow, a take on each wing.
"Tower, this is Kite 1 on approach to car park and squawking. Please deploy the bacon." "Kite 1, we have you on approach from 270 and squawking loudly. The bacon is down. I repeat, the bacon is down." "Roger tower - we have the target at 12 o'clock." "Kite 1, be advised that you are coming-in too fast! Apply flaps.." "Tower, we're going to hit the bacon! Brace for landing.. brace, brace.."
have anybody else realised that some of the birds had number tags on them?
I live in Thame, watch them when ever can see them. thanks for the video!
Exelent video guys, these are very rare birds in England that have been tagged and reintroduced, once very common,then went extinct through mans persecution, now being reintroduced and once again becoming more common through careful management. I myself spotted a pair today doing an aerial ballet and passing food to each other in mid-air, locking talens, it was poetry in motion. And that was in prestwitch Manchester 06/04/15. :-) your welcome.
I'm sure that the great majority of people who saw this video's title - like me - had absolutely no idea that "red kites" are birds. I thought I was going to watch a kite being flown in slo-mo, which didn't seem like a particularly exciting thing to look at, but I was curious enough to click on it.
+hebneh I think most normal people would know a Red kite was a bird. At least people in the 20+ age bracket should know
AMCT 101 You are assuming that kites (the birds) live widely throughout the world. They do not.
hebneh Not true, there are many species of bird that do not live widely yet are well known.
Oh dear!!!
I wish I was that good at claw machines ;-;
Realy love these birds. We have them in France too. They are quite common where I live. We also have black kites, krestrels, falcons, buzzards... I can see them throuh my window😁 (in the end, the 10th floor is not so Bad😉...)
yous have captured amzing footages. Youd probably be paid for them to be used by like bbc or something.
Around 1:25 to 1:35 you can see the air pattern change across the top of the bird. Change in attack angle (bird starts a flare) you can see the feathers go from fairly smooth wind-swept, to swirling around violently across the top. Neat to witness the "stall" across the wing. Only other time i've seen this is watching flight training videos. There is a video available where they attach streamers all over a fixed wing, on stall.. the streamers go from smooth to the same swirl pattern... (no lift generating from the airfoil). Awesome video guys, fantastic! EDIT: Found the video th-cam.com/video/WFcW5-1NP60/w-d-xo.html
Wow so many kites. Amazing, where is this filmed?
1. Open another tab with TH-cam in it.
2. On that other tab search "Craig Armstrong - Escape" and skip to 4:20, pause that.
3. On this video skip to 0:34 and pause this.
4. Mute this video.
5. Play both videos simultaneously.
Yay :)
For all of those who are genuinely outraged by the fact these birds are tagged, did you actually try to inform yourselves about whether or not the species is endangered? I didn't, but please learn to think critically.
Thank you so much for this Gav. I've managed to persuade the kites to swoop down into my garden and pick up chicken drumsticks but they are down and up so fast I've got no chance of getting a photograph. Amazing birds.
It would be pretty cool if you were to get an "Aaron's Dragon" and do the hydrogen experiment with it (Fill it with hydrogen... mess around with it a bit, then ignite it!), and film it in slow motion, that would be amazing! Please do it!
Fun fact a red kite can reach 50 kilometers an hour in just 2 seconds btw not full capability though, just enough for it to catch a bird from 50 yard, it's reactions is so fast that it takes half a second/ 50 milliseconds to spot it's prey while dodging a obstical blocking the view of it's prey
You know Kites eat meat right? Also feeding birds bread is bad as it expands in their stomach. And....they look nothing like an Eagle, let alone a Bald Eagle LOL.
Great pics nonetheless.
They are the best pilot on the planet
Fuck that, I'd be the bird that lands and eats it off the ground happily and easily. :P
Looks like Chris's Cafe at Stokenchurch near Oxford. It looks good on camera, it's an awesome sight when you're actually in the car park at feeding time.
Did you know that red kites use the thermal (warm air between mountains or hills) to rise circlingly? As soon as they have discovered their prey, they plunge down almost 200 km / h!
i wonder why certain red kites have been marked? probably some local biologists checking on the kite population in the area, if anyone knows the reason they were actually marked could you just reply please, im surprsingly interested :)
at 1:23 the bird had a yellow tag on it's wing and the tag said 33
People are just feeding bacon to these birds? That's a waste of precious bacon! I don't care if you're giving them to birds or something, people could be eaten that bacon and not just children in Africa!
We are lucky enough to live in a North East village where there are hundreds of these beautiful birds. Thank you for capturing what I can never manage to get on my phone/camera! :)
My only quibble with this vid, is that they are being fed on sliced white bread, which contains very little nourishment. Furthermore, it swells inside their stomachs and inhibits their appetites so that they do not feel the urge to search out the high-protein diet that they need.
Their natural diet consists mainly of carrion; dead animals that they are able to find, as threy are too weak-footed to kill any prey much bigger than a small rabbit. They will also feed on chicks, small mammals and invertebrates such as beetles and earthworms.
not even birds of prey could resist teh bacon
I love how you have a playlist with all your video for me to watch at night. Thank you🥹
fun fact:Did you know there is a raptor (bird of prey) that is called the Mississippi kite,
they are so protective of there young that they sometimes fly in front of cars and cause cars crashes?
Gav and Daniel; you should do different emotions in slow motion. Like scared, exited, startled, sad,etc. That would be totally fun to watch

please answer me slow mo guys!! : whats the name of he song or the clip you use for the audio when you slow down everything?
This is an awesome video! Please do more of these kinds. Try capturing the moment when a Pike catches a prey fish (in an aquarium of course) og the moment a snake strakes or similar things.
I live in the middle of England and at our school we have the largest population of seagulls in the whole of Nottingham.
I must say that of all the videos You have made I still find that Your "animal" videos, without a question, are the ones I find best and most fascinating.
Best regards.
you should use the song "I believe I can fly"
Pause at 1:16 the bird looks like a lenopteryx from AVATAR
more pet vids please and do better shots , with better light, in studio maybe?
The "Ooooo" and "Ahhhhh" factor on this one is very high
Once I was in a French lesson and one came up really close to the window, I got to see it's face. But it was during an assessment so I couldn't get a closer look :'(
that's so cool that there are this many bad ass hawks all over the place near you guys. here in new england, usa, i have seen a couple red tail hawks here and there but that's it.
also, 1:23 !!!!!!
Are these silly birds hardwired to only eat food that they catch in a swoop?
Can they not fathom just casually walking up to and eating it?
I never would have known that was a bird...I saw the title and was trying to figure out why someone would film slow mo video of someone flying a kite
1:28 - 2:40 so cool!! No explosions in this one and you have 8 million less views, shows peoples priorities. I for one think this is the best Slow Mo Guys video yet. Thank you for this!! Truly stunning.
Wow, i didnt think these birds would be so numerous like a flock, i occasionally see a bald eagle or a hawk but never so many at once!
I like how it goes so slow so you get a better view of how there catching the food
Kites are like underdog of soccer tournaments. While Eagles are considered to be champions but kites are really badass
Good shot of non-laminar airflow 1:23
Holy shit! As a Floridian who's seen a lot of Bald Eagles in my day, those look like some small cousins of a Bald Eagle.
You wanted to tell something to people and you do it in a WRONG way. Now people hate more about what you believe. Because of this reason your comment here is a sin actually. Because even if there was a hope you have decreased it by pushing people. If you don't know how to do it don't take a responsibility for that. Just take care of your own responsibilities for your religion. P.S. I am a muslim.
