Not a drone, but is it an unmanned camera platform? An what degree of control does the"operator" have over it? I wonder if the CAA have any official views on trained birds for camera platforms.
Could do with a 3-axis gimbal though. :-)

Eagle with camera flies over London
An eagle with a camera attached has flown across London and offered a new perspective on some of the capital's best-known landmarks.
The footage was recorded over a week by an Imperial Eagle called Darchan.
The animal has been brought to London from the French Alps by The Freedom Project to mark the 50th anniversary of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.
The Red List compiles the world's most threatened species.
