An eagle flies from from the top of the world's tallest building whilst carrying a micro-camera.

I watched that on TV and was awestruck by the close up and the way it perused the landscape as it was flying. A fabulous sight! These beautiful birds are now threatened with extinction in a few years, they reported.

Wow. That's very cool. What a wonderful birds-eye view of Dubai.
Terrific landing.

Drones have been banned over parts of London, as they could carry cameras, will eagles now be banned ?
