White-tailed Eagle hunts Greylag Goose No.5

Attention: Cruel, nothing for tender minds or children !!!!!!!
Achtung: Grausam, nichts für zarte Gemüter oder Kinder!!!!!!!
The female Eagle attacks the Goose in this video at about 400m distance from my location. Once the surprise moment is on the Eagle's side and a goose can not fly fast enough, because the mauser timpaired the ability to fly, the hunt is mostly successful. The heavy prey is then brought floating to the nearest bank for plucking. Even when eating later, the goose seemed to be still alive, which of course seems cruel to us and are certainly disturbing images that you do not want to look at more often. After the eagle has eaten its prey, the prey is disassembled and brought to the eyrie in individual parts (here a goose leg), where the chicks are already hungry for it. Meanwhile, Kites and Marsh Harriers, as well as ravens and crows get their share, so many benefit from the hunting luck of the eagle.
