Part of the show at the excellent Hawk Conservancy Trust, in Andover, Hampshire, UK is flying these superfast falcons. The Lanner can exceed 100mph, and is a determined little bugger as you can see from it's face. The Kestrel is not as fast, but much prettier imho, and conveniently hovers before diving. Getting a finger on any of them is a real photographic challenge as they are really small, really fast, and usually really far away. These are some of my best shots, and I'll keep on trying.
