A closeup of a Peregrine Falcon in Bhigwan. 
The Falcon is perched on a high wire. The electric poles are in the water and the falcon's favourite spot. There are only 2 Peregrine Falcons at Bhigwan.

The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km-h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest bird in the world, as well as the fastest member of the animal kingdom.
