Pete tel is right 200mph in full dive I watched a documentary about them amazing bird, but the unbelievable part was that while it is the fasted animal in the world, if it misses a pigeon that it is hunting it can't catch it in normal flight

That's fast wouldn't want to be in the flight line if he misses that pigeon

 

[telectrix]

if it was a close miss, i'd not want to be below the pigeon either.
