World's Fastest Bird, Peregrine Falcon, Spotted in Telangana After 5 Years

  • The Peregrine Falcon, the world's fastest bird, was sighted in Telangana's Kawal Tiger Reserve after a five-year gap.
  • Wildlife researcher Dr. Venkat Anagandhula of the Hyderabad Tiger Conservation Society captured the image during an Asian Water Bird Survey near Kistapur Lake.
  • Known for its hunting dive reaching speeds up to 320 km/h, the falcon's presence indicates a positive sign for the ecosystem.
  • While common in coastal regions and wetlands, spotting it in southern Telangana is unusual, making this observation significant.
  • Conservationists view the falcon's return as a reflection of healthy prey populations, safe water bodies, and a well-preserved forest environment.
