Description

Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) It can reach speeds over 322 km/h (200 mph), making it the fastest animal in the world. Another Spier outing experience, seeing the falcon giving a hunting demonstration. I did try and capture the flight, the speed of the bird and the background did not help! Here it was about to launch for its attack on the 'prey', swung around by the trainer. Cheers, Clive

Cool shot. Actually saw some wild birds in Devon at nesting site on the Cliff's. Very impressive site watching them. You have caught the bird really well. Great job! Rob.
