Le regard est sévère, mais la photo est splendide !

200mph... no.. 120mph and very impressive with it .

As a falconer of many years... I have a passion for birds of prey.. but they are subject to a little mis information !

His good Lady will be bigger than he. Sexual diamorphism.. the female is always bigger and therefore prised as a falconers hunting companion.

Beautiful photo Mike...makes my heart beat faster....

Thanks for the info Pam I read that these birds do fly at about 150 mph but when diving they reach speeds of 200mph but I know they go fast a lot faster than me lol.
This was taken from an article I was reading.
wiki.answers.com › ... › Animal Life › Birds › Birds of Prey › Falcons
The perragrine falcon flys at about 150mph BUT and this is a big but when the perragrine falcon dives it is around 200mph, however this bird is not to be ...

Mike... mostly the speeds quoted are the difference between an armchair falconer..and a real one who walks and flies their birds 365 days a year.

Alot of the demo people also gild the lily so to speak !

Heck.. its like a stoop at 120 mph isnt enough !!

You just try it !! from 2000 feet... and still accelerating 3 feet off the ground and tuning 180 degrees !!

I certainly never thought my birds were lacking speed !!!

Thanks again Pam, I've changed the speed on the title cause I don't want him caught for speeding lol :))))
But I do understand what you say that some people do get a bit carried away when printing things ? Without the real knowledge like you :)
