Peregrine Falcon

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to encounter the fastest animal in the world, the Peregrine Falcon! These lightning fast raptors move an ridiculously fast speeds and are incredibly agile.

Keeping them in the view find of the camera can prove tricky but thankfully during this encounter they were cruising pretty slowly.

As a raptor geek, seeing these falcons so closely was an absolute treat. Previously I had only managed to get very distant shots where you could only just identify which species of falcon it was.

It's lovely to get a picture of a raptor where the sky isn't the background. Makes for a much more interesting composition.
