PEREGRINE FALCON
Peregrines are the fastest birds in the world, with a top reported speed of 320 km/hour. I travelled to Malham Cove in Yorkshire to photograph them in action. Positioning myself on the top of an 80m high cliff put me at eye level with the birds as they trained their newly fledged chicks in the skills of hunting.
