Peregrine Falcons

The fearless hunters of the day they circle in the sky And faster than a swallow tis said that they can fly They can kill birds far larger than themselves in flight they make the kill They nest in holes in the sandstone cliffs on the face of the brown hill, The fearless hunters of the clouds with terror in their cry The fastest birds of prey on Planet Earth few that fact would deny Than the Peregrine falcons in their cloaks of dark to grey You will not find a greater or more fearless bird of prey They now nest on tall City buildings and though not seen everywhere They are making a comeback ten years ago they were rare They travel at breath-taking speeds when when they are in full flight And to see them wheel above the cliffs is an amazing sight The fastest birds on Planet Earth though some may not agree They often cry out in full flight an amazing thing to hear and see.
