Fastest Creature On Earth?by ~nitsch

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 412 × 612
Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) about to drop into a stoop where they can hit incredible speeds making them the fastest creatures on earth.

I had to crop this image very heavily as the bird was just a dot in my viewfinder, this is basically the bird full size but I've cropped out the acres of blue sky from around it. I was just really happy to get a shot in focus as it was moving so quickly, this is the only shot in the sequence that came out.

Enjoy! :)

It is indeed the fastest creature on earth, up to 190mph in full stoop. You captured it beautifully, I'll forgive the crop as I know how hard they are to photograph, I haven't managed a decent image yet (although I've been trying in the wild :P).

This is stunning. I absolutely love it. Beautiful capture. Hehe I showed a good friend of mine this photo, he was impressed. But started ranting about how a Gyr falcon has got to be THE fastest thing on the planet animal wise. He's seen both in action with his own eyes hehe. But yes, top photo :love:
