Peregrine falcon

“Peregrine falcon is the fastest aerial animal, fastest animal in flight, fastest bird and overall the fastest member of the animal kingdom.

It can be found at the Grow-Trees.com project at Sundarbans and the highest measured speed is 389 km/h or 242 mph according to a National Geographic programme.

It requires open space in order to hunt and therefore often hunts over open water, marshes, valleys, fields and tundra, searching for prey either from a high perch or from the air. At times, it is used to scare away birds at airports to reduce the risk of bird-plane strikes thereby improving air-traffic safety.”

If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
