A video of an eagle flying off with a drone has taken the internet by storm and has left netizens amazed. The clip shared on Twitter by username Buitengebieden features the drone filming a beach and moving towards the shore before being plucked by the bird, who then flies away with it. The video even shows a glimpse of some wings over the camera. 

The eagle captured the drone and took it away from the beach. As it flew it over a landmass, one can even see the eagle’s shadow on the ground. It is clearly visible that the eagle had plucked the drone, which was most likely being controlled by a person on the beach. Although the drone was taken away, most likely to the bird’s nest, the cameraman managed to retrieve the video from the cloud storage and is now entertaining the viewers on social media.
