[additionalDescriptionItem] => Catalogue Synopsis:
Throughout the world, there is increasing concern for the Raptors or birds of prey. These aerial predators are among the most highly skilled and spectacular of all birds especially in their hunting technique. Most raptors have become very specialised in their behaviour, while competing for food and habitat. In contrast, the New Zealand Falcon has evolved without pressure from other predators, and has become extremely adaptable. Little was known of this fearless native bird until recently, when a raptor biologist from England carried out the first scientific research into its nesting biology. This film records highlights from his three year field-study, and reveals previously unseen nesting behaviour, including the spectacular 'aerial food pass'. The culmination of this project is a new technique in raptor research, which has world-wide applications - particularly in countries where birds of prey are close to extinction.
