Incredibly clear shot of what must be a very difficult bird to capture. A bird I've only ever seen at a great distance. Especially like the eye contact. You must have been thrilled at getting the shot. |

Is this flying like a jet plane ? High speed and very lilttle wing movement. I saw one gliding through Hung Shing Yeh beach all the way to Yung Shue Wan while I was swimming the other day. Thanks for giving us detailed location and time to see. I am new to the bird watching in Lamma. More guiding information will be good for everyone of us. |

Peregrine falcon is the largest falcon in Hong Kong . They are bigger than kestrel but smaller than black-eared kite . In outdoor environment their size may be seen close to crested goshawk and common buzzard. Peregrine falcon flies very fast and uses speed to hunt .Like kestrel and crested goshawk ,they can also hovering on the sky , locating their preys and suddenly diving straight down like a bullet . So if in great distance and poor light condition , it may easy to confuse them with the two . The peregrine falcon in the photo was too concentrating on its prey and didn't notice me hiding behind a boulder .When it got closer , it quickly noticed me and try to glide away .At this moment ,we had a quick eye contact as seen in the photo . |
