I was heartened to recently read that golden eagle numbers are now up to historic levels in Scotland. Seeing these magnificent birds up in BOP centres etc is wonderful, but nothing compares to seeing them flying wild and free in their natural environment.

I do have a photo of a bird diving at about 120 mph + estimated, the attack dive is not the easiest to photograph
PEREGRINE FALCON (top speed of around 150/180mph )

You really should come to Hungary.where I live it's an absolute paradise for birdwatchers, especially for Raptors. Rarely a day goes by without my seeing them flying around or perched in trees .. only with I could identify them!
If you go into the Aggteleki Nemzeti Park which is about 100 miles from me you'll find wolves as well!
