The Peregrine Falcon

This raptor is mainly avivore, i.e. the main part of its diet is comprised of birds, that it catches mid-air at dizzying lightening speeds of up to 350 km/h. From their lookout, they observe they prey and then fly to higher altitudes before launching a dive attack with “closed wings” from the bird’s blind spot. The cliffs of the Mont d’Or provide the Peregrine Falcom with an ideal habitat to nest.
