There was a brilliant film on the BBC actually might have been a documentary about Eagles

Mongolians use them to hunt foxes and that, basically they put cameras on the Eagles backs, little ones not great big cameras that would be daft, and the Eagles swoop down the icy tundra and snag themselves an Arctic Fox and they carry them back to the Mongolians who use the foxes pelt to make hats and stuff. Not sure what they do with the meat probably knock themselves up a nice fox and kidney pie. Don't think any attenbroughs were involved but it was still dead good.
