Greek flight delayed by hawk
A flight was canceled at Heraklion Airport on the island of Crete after a tawny eagle landed on the plane's wing and refused to leave, causing the departure to be delayed. Firefighters managed to subdue the eagle using fire-retardant blankets over its head, and officials indicated that it was likely one of its first flights and possibly still young, as it was unharmed and showed no other issues. After the incident, the eagle was sent for examination and released back into the wild, as Crete is a natural habitat for this species of eagle.
