Raptor Drops Prey Mid-Flight, Swoops Down and Catches It Again Mid-Air

In this incredible sequence, a hawk is seen dropping its prey mid-air (some have speculated the prey was biting its feet) only to loop back down and catch it again mid-air!

Kudos to the cameraman for tracking the shot as they were surely quite zoomed in and keeping the action in frame and relatively stable is no easy feat!
