Speed record

Plummeting from the sky at speeds of up to 240 miles per hour, the UK's peregrine falcon is the fastest creature on earth. Newly fledged chicks are currently on a tough summer training programme. They practise flight by chasing their parents, who then let go of food in midair so they learn to catch on the wing.
