Nineteen subspecies found
across the world differ
vastly in size ...
This is the second of
the three subspecies
seen in India ...

Ssp. peregrinator
aka Shaheen Falcon ...

Third called the

rather uncommon in

is a very large subspecies
of Peregrine ...

This individual sat
close to the top of
a tall pylon in post
sunset twilight ...

Watch the fabulous Raptor
in a video-clip ...
