The peregrine falcon is the most widespread bird of prey in the world. The bird, which is around 40 cm tall, has been used as a brilliant falconry bird by nomads in Central Asia. After the peregrine falcon population declined drastically in the 1970s, intensive conservation measures were taken, which fortunately proved successful. There are now around 1200 pairs of peregrine falcons in Germany. Peregrine falcons mainly hunt other birds and are known for their rapid flight maneuvers - the bird of prey reaches a top speed of an impressive 250 km/h when hunting. The **strictly limited World's Wildlife - Peregrine proof set** is delivered in the original wooden box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
