Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus (171)
(Swerfvalk)
Experiences with species

This Falcon was another bird I needed a photo of. Seeing it at the Gardens in Gauteng was a surprise in itself, and I was able to get reasonable shots of it. I also found out from my friends visiting from Singapore that the Japanese name for this bird is "Hayabusa" - now I know what they named the bike after!

Other names: Peregrine, Duck Hawk (North America), Hayabusa (Japanese)
