Today, I came accross this incredible new: eagles attack paraglider:
Reuters:
- Britain's top female paraglider has cheated death after being attacked by a pair of wild eagles while competition flying in Australia.
Nicky Moss, 38, watched terrified as two huge birds began tearing into her parachute canopy, one becoming tangled in her lines and clawing at her head 2,500 meters (8,200ft) in the air.
"I heard screeching behind me and a eagle flew down and attacked me, swooping down and bouncing into the side of my wing with its claws," Moss told Reuters on Friday.
"Then another one appeared and together they launched a sustained attack on my glider, tearing at the wing." ->> full article
I've experienced a similar thing in Switzerland myself, but it was only a buzzard. Please relate your own story if you've experienced the same. Thanks
