That is a peregrine falcon in a dive, and it is the fastest animal on Earth.

Clocked at over 390km/h in a recorded stoop, it folds its wings, tilts its body and essentially becomes a guided missile. To protect its eyes at that speed it uses a nictitating membrane

Great trip at Loch Shiel Cruises last weekend, watching white tailed eagles. We saw 13 or 14 eagles: 4 adults, 9 juveniles - a record for the boat trip, well beyond previous trips.

#BirdSupermodel is the #BirdOfTheDay theme: any bird captured looking like it’s posing for a magazine cover shoot.

The bald eagle always looks like it's posing for a cover, doesn't it? 🙂

Standing there, without so much as a flicker, it embodies textbook perfect aloofness and majesty. The lens captured not only its wings and eyes, but also the tenderness with which it watches over its home.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlueSkies, any bird against a blue sky. Way over there, yeah that little thing flying out there, that's a Bald Eagle. Yeah, it is. But you wanted blue sky? I got more blue sky than anyone. 😉

The Great Bear rainforest in #Canada has challenging weather. This majestic bald #eagle was not enjoying the rain and sat for ages waiting for the bears to catch some salmon for it to scavenge!

Meet Australia's largest bird of prey!

It can soar to 2km above the ground on thermals without flapping for up to 90 minutes. Its eyes can squeeze and elongate like a zoom lens, sharper vision than any human. It has been recorded at 6,800 metres altitude.
