This incredible drone footage gives you a birds-eye view of our stunning city and iconic Liver building.

Our 800-year-old city shines in warm sunlight as the drone from Liverpool company Icarus UAV takes you up to a unique view of the Liver Birds that has never been seen before.

Mike Ahmed from Icarus UAV said: "We shot the footage on a nice calm summers evening when the light was just perfect. But it wasn’t until we reviewed it back at the office the next morning that we realised we had captured something really special.

"It was so beautiful with the backdrop of the city at that time of evening and from a perspective that had never been done before.

"The Liver Building and the iconic Liver Birds that proudly represent our fantastic city and are known all over the world, and after some research I soon realised that not a single image or video had ever been taken from such an elevated position, as usually all images of the Liver Birds are from the ground up or at best from another near by building, so in that respect the video and still shots we have are truly unique.

"One thing that did surprise myself and colleagues about the building when viewing from above was that its actually hollow in two places! A surprise for those who have not been inside it!"

The video was part of the company's ongoing projects across Merseyside, for more information on Icuas UAV via Twitter @icarusuav8, call 0800 999 4664 or email info@icarusuav.com
