Here are documentary pictures that initiate the gallery of the Peregrine Falcon. I hope the gallery soon include other photos of this species of the better quality. The Peregrine Falcon appeared just once for a short while I was taking photos the European Ground Squirrel. The hope to take more pictures in the future is easy to fulfil, because the expanses inhabited by the Peregrine Falcon are wide, when one considers the map of the entire world. It is found in both Americas, in Africa, Asia, Australia and, of course, in Europe. As other predators, the female representatives of the species are heavier than males and may weigh up to 1,3 kilograms. Their wingspan is no more than one metre. It is slightly heavier than the Brown Falcon in Australia. The Peregrine Falcon, however, has different preying habits. It hunts in flight, attacking its prey while nose-diving at them with the speed of over 300 km/h. It even has special valve in its respiratory system, so that the air pressure does no damage to its lungs. This is the second gallery on my website.

Again, photos taken by chance are uploaded to my gallery. It is a pity that they are of questionable, documentary quality, as the peregrine falcon is a beautiful bird. In this gallery, unfortunately, it will be not so easy to make some radical changes. The falcon, this time, perched on the breakwater at the port of Hel. Bad light, the 2X converter and very strong framing - could it get any worse?

After five years, my next encounter with the peregrine falcon took place. Unfortunately, just as ineffective as the previous ones. But an encounter with such a species should be noted in the information provided by the gallery of this species. There were actually two meetings. While photographing the waders on the beach, the falcon made a raid, after which all the birds took flight in panic. In a split second the beach was deserted. During the second flight, unfortunately, the autofocus did not sharpen. So far I have added two poorly sharp photos as a souvenir of the meeting, and the gallery itself remains documentary.

I add another documentation photo of a peregrine falcon. This time the falcon frightened away all the swifts from the historic port in Dubrovnik. It was a little before sunrise, so there were no conditions for a good photo, and again the sky in the background.
