Peregrine Falcon

• Element 1: Emblem

  Behaviour - dive shape

  The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest diving bird in the world and the fastest animal on the planet. During a dive, it positions its wings into an aerodynamic ‘M’ shape, allowing it to reach speeds of more than 380km/h and making it a highly effective hunter.

• Element 2: Pattern

  Habitat - high-rise

  Peregrine Falcons have adapted to the urban environment, with skyscrapers mimicking the cliff faces that they often roost and nest on.
