New Zealand Falcons in Slow Motion at Wingspan

Filmed at Wingspan, near Rotorua New Zealand, April 2017. Wingspan Bird of Prey Centre was established in Rotorua in 2002, and is now recognised as New Zealand’s leading conservation, education and research organisation for birds of prey. They are committed to the conservation of the threatened New Zealand falcon. The New Zealand falcon, or kārearea in Māori (Falco novaeseelandiae), is New Zealand's only falcon. Other common names for the bird are bush hawk and sparrow hawk. It is the country’s most threatened bird of prey, with only around 3000-5000 breeding pairs remaining. Wingspan supports wild populations directly by releasing captive bred falcons and rehabilitating injured wild birds, and supports long-term sustainable conservation action by identifying the reasons for the decline in wild populations and promoting action to reverse this.

The music is the song "Askeladden" by Ceolskog (me). The background noise was mostly kids, couldn't really hear the faloners speak.
Ceolskog is the solo folk metal project of Adam Helliwell from Hamilton, New Zealand. It is also the name given to his nature-themed TH-cam channel. Ceol is an Irish word meaning music, and skog means forest in Norwegian and Swedish. No, I don't have a Patreon. But if you're a regular viewer, and you want to support me some way (as well as getting something in return), then buy my music from here, the Ceolskog Bandcamp page: ceolskog.bandca...

Awesome footage of this fantastic raptor. And very grateful for pointing me in the direction of Ceolskog. Great to see some Kiwi folk metal.

[@Ceolskog]

Thank you! Sorry for the shaky camera. Sadly there is not a lot of Kiwi folk metal around, which is why I made my own, haha!

Ere yar on the head! They won't let go of that perceived pray. Cracking tune Adam - wonderful bird to observe. All the best. Mark

[@Ceolskog]

Thanks Mark! Gotta love our NZ falcons. Very endangered sadly, but these guys are working to protect them. Hey, by the way, here's a link if you want to hear the whole song: th-cam.com/video/_NNtHPHI5hU/w-d-xo.html

Cool birds aye? Moreporks are still my favorite though. We should do a morepork hunt sometime! (With cameras, I mean).
