Peregrine falcon:<\/h2>\n

For many years peregrine falcons have nested on the roof of our office building. The juvenile falcon shown on our office ledge hatched here.<\/p>\n

Although peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus<\/em>) belong to the most wide-spread bird species of the world, they are very rare in our area, the Upper Austrian alpen foothills.<\/p>\n

They have a wingspan of over 100 cm (40 inches), weigh up to 1300 g (3 pounds) and are regarded as the fastest bird of the world (over 200 km\/h \u2013 124 mph!) Here their favourite meal is pigeon which they catch in free and often extremely rapid flight.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
