The Falcon swings, it’s strong build allowing them to soar to incredible speed and height, The Falcon swoops at a Pelicans baby its hunger not satiated, The Falcon unfortunately misses its prey by an inch and the mother swoops in being defensive off her offspring, The mother uses her strong beak to poke at the falcon but also misses due to the Falcon moving insanely fast and it's hard black shield like head being to strong

The falcon flows amongst the Aussie current, its breeze flowing under its stomach feathers, The falcon swings at a fish that a dolphin throws too hard, They chomp hard on the weak frail fish as its hard stone beak crushes it.

The falcon soars over to its nest making a quick stop for its offsprings food, It arrives at the nest and shares the food with each offspring till thee all full in which the mother now lowers and lays down in the poking stick nest, it stretches its wings that expand o about 80-120 centimetres scaring away unseen predators.

As the cold night breeze flows, the mother Falcon uses its wind absorbent feathers to stop the wind from freezing its offspring, Another fellow Falcon desperate for a mate does a mating call hoping now that all Falcons are in their den that one will come to the lonely one, In a desperate attempt it makes a sound of “kee-kee-kee-kee.” a fellow female also desperate for a mate approaches and they all can now sleep thanks to the disrupting noise ending.

In the cold snowy tundra, the wolves hunt any deer, elk or moose for food, then the pack looks for ice to break and drink water. Within a pack the wolves have different roles based on age, experience and health. Older or more experienced wolves often lead the hunts, while younger wolves assist in chasing and capturing prey. The wolves then went home and are waiting to do it all again tomorrow.

Where the grassland meets the coast great waves fall, great birds dive the fastest of them all, the peregrine falcon(wanderer) hunting with a stunning technique called stoop- diving down at the prey at over 300 kilometres an hour to catch the duck.

She soared up high viewing the coastal beach scanning for prey, there at last a meal peeking up from the stray tree is a small bird- a main source of the falcons diet. The bird quickly scouts for incoming predators before scattering away from the tree and she dives, years of practice ensuring no mistake perching on the small bird's spine before ripping it open to show no escape.

Curling bushes grow expanding to absorb all streaks of sunlight, she searches for places like these to breed and lay eggs up high mountains to a safe place from predators. In 30 days the eggs will hatch and grow.

These beautiful birds were once endangered but now under protection by IUCN, their amazing seed proves that without a doubt they are the greatest birds of prey.

The Falcon was flying across Sydney, the wingspan ranging from 80 to 120 cm the Falcon is gliding home. The dad will always know that the Falcon is coming here because the Falcon has a distinctive black “helmet” on their head and a white face with black markings.

The Falcon noticed that there was no food so the Falcon dived to reach ducks or shorebirds. They employ a high speed dive reaching speeds over 300 km/h to surprise and capture premid-air. The Falcon comes home with a duck for the 3 eggs she laid. And it’s nearly 30 days which means they will hatch.
