Amazing slow-motion footage captures the moment an owl flew out over a climber in a ‘once in a lifetime’ moment.<br/><br/>The video, captured by Will Birkett, 28, shows the bird leap from its perch as he scaled a quarry wall in Silverdale.<br/><br/>He reaches into the hold where the owl is sheltering, unaware the bird is there, and the owl then takes flight – wings skimming the top of his head.<br/><br/>Will, who was climbing without the aid of ropes, was filming for his social media account @willbirkett_lakes when the moment happened.
