The Northern Goshawk is a raptor with short, broad wings and a long tail, both adaptations to manoeuvring through trees in the forests it lives and nests in. Television presenter Chris Packham and his camera crew wanted to discover how the Goshawk maneuvers the narrow spaces of tree trunks and limbs in the forest.

Great video!
That is indeed unusual for a bird. Birds don't generally fly through a space that their wings touch. But the goshawk just folds them back and continues. And then to watch it at full speed - amazing.
