Saker Falcon  

Saker falcons are one of the fastest birds, capable of reaching speeds of up to 320 km/h during a dive.

They are native to Central Asia but can be found across Europe and Africa during migration.

Saker falcons are highly prized in falconry for their speed, agility, and hunting skills.

Females are larger and more powerful than males, making them more effective hunters.

They mainly hunt small mammals and birds, often in open landscapes like grasslands and deserts.

The saker falcon is the national bird of Hungary and the United Arab Emirates.
