A peregrine falcon at Carlton Marshes! 🦅 The Carlton Marshes team were thrilled to capture this close-up footage of a peregrine falcon taking a rest from hunting unsuspecting waders on our nature reserve. Peregrines usually nest on cliffs however, in the absence of this habitat, they have adapted to nest in tall man-made structures such as docks, silos and bridges. 📷 Gavin Durrant, our Broads Assistant Warden | Suffolk Wildlife Trust

The peregrine falcon is not only the fastest bird in the world, capable of diving at speeds over 240 mph (386kph), but it’s also known for its loyalty. These birds mate for life, staying monogamous with their chosen partner. A perfect blend of speed and devotion! #PeregrineFalcon #FastestBird #NatureFacts #BirdOfPrey #SpeedAndLoyalty #Wildlife #BirdWatching #AnimalKingdom #NatureLovers | Michelle Reyes
