Seen hear in his first winter, it will take up to four years for the male to have his adult plumage of black and white markings on his body with lime-green markings on the head and a pink flush to the breast. The Eider duck is the UK's heaviest duck and is also the fastest flying duck being clocked at a speed off 47.2 mph in level flight. This duck can also be known by the names of Caddy's duck and St Cuthbert's duck.
This amazing little Falcon can reach more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour—making it not only the world's fastest bird but also the world's fastest animal

The fastest animal in the world, the world's most widespread raptor and one of the coolest. The fastest speed ever recorded by one is 389 km/h or 242 mph.
Sometimes, when you are feeling down a familiar face can make all the difference. Just seeing her face made my day. Not sure the feeling was mutual ;).
The fastest dive by a bird is that of a peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), which has been estimated as reaching a terminal velocity of approximately 300 km/h (186 mph) when in a diving stoop. At this point the peregrine falcon is the fastest animal.

The fastest animal on the planet
But fast for a very good reason., it's nutritional needs requires it to hunt down prey and the reality of that is all to be seen here in this picture
Nature simultaneously at it's most magnificent and at it's cruelest
Sometimes you just have to stop and take it in
You can travel the seven seas., climb the highest mountains., dive to the bottom of every ocean
But you'll never find anything quicker than what you looking at here
Breathtaking to think of
I watched a group of three juvenile Trumpeter Swans on the pond in back today. Interestingly, they would work on one end of the lake and then launch with a little bit of flight time to the other end of the lake, never getting much height from the water as they did so. I suspect that it's not only a faster way to get from one side to the other but it's a great way of working those wings in anticipation of migrating south for the winter!

Sermeq Kujalleq just south of Ilulissat, Greenland, is the world's fastest moving glacier flowing into the Ilulissat Icefjord at a rate of 19 meters a day.
I've seen interesting positions in the air from Bald Eagles but this immature Bald Eagle showed me something different! It decided the best way down was just about straight down.

Met zingende tractiemotoren zoeft motorwagen 160 van de voormalige Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad over de dubbelsporige vrije baan. De Electroliners van de North Shore Line bereikten tussen Dempster Street en North Chicago Junction in de normale dienst een snelheid van 90 mph. Dat is maar liefst 140 km per uur! De North Shore stond niet voor niets bekend als "America's fastest interurban".
De afgebeelde motorwagen 160 uit 1915 was niet geschikt voor die hoogste dienstsnelheid. Desondanks konden met deze door de J. G. Brill Company in Philadelphia gebouwde motorwagen ook hoge snelheden behaald worden. Deze motorwagen deed bijna vijftig jaar dienst tussen Chicago en Milwaukee. Tegenwoordig is het fraaie rijtuig te bewonderen op de museumlijn van het Illinois Railway Museum bij het plaatsje Union.

The Jaguar XK120 was the fastest production car in the world when launched... Originally designed to showcase Jaguar’s new 6-cylinder XK engine, the XK120 was not initially intended for volume production, but following a rapturous reception at the Earl's Court Motor Show in London in 1948, plans soon changed. Becoming more widely available in 1950 its 120mph top speed and styling were unprecedented in the immediate post-war years.
XK120s were very successful in motor sports of all kinds, both in Britain and in the US.
This 1951 3442cc Jaguar XK120 Drop Head Coupé, LSM 572, is on display at the Haynes Motor Museum.
LNER 4468 Mallard is a LNER Class A4 4-6-2 steam locomotive built by the London & North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works, England in 1938. It is historically significant as the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 mph (203 km/h).
Pink Ceiba, the flowers of the world's fastest growing tree! The inside of its trunk is so soft that it has 4 inch spikes to protect it from predators... giving it its nickname, Monkey Tree, because a agile monkey can climb it!
The Ceiba tree figures an important part in the mythologies of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. Several Amazonian tribes of eastern Peru believe deities live in Ceiba tree species throughout the jungle. The Maya civilization believed that Yaaxché, often depicted as a Ceiba trunk, connects the planes of the Underworld (Xibalba), the terrestrial realm and the skies. Unmistakable clusters of thick conical thorns on the Ceiba trunk were reproduced during the Classical Period on ceramic burial urns and incense holders by the southern lowland Maya.
Modern Maya still respectfully leave the tree standing when harvesting forest timber. The Ceiba tree is represented by a cross and serves as an important architectural motif in the Temple of the Cross Complex at Palenque.
Ceiba pentandra produces a light and strong fiber (kapok) used throughout history to fill life preservers, mattresses, pillows, tapestries, and dolls. Kapok has recently been replaced in commercial use by synthetic fibers. The oils of Ceiba seeds are extracted to make soap and fertilizers. The Ceiba continues to be commercialized in Asia especially in Java, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines.

The Pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in North America. In this image, the speedy Pronghorn buck is backed by the largest land mammal in North America, the Bison. South Dakota has healthy populations of both species occupying similar habitats, including Custer State Park where this shot was taken.
A bison bull (the largest land animal in North America) strides across the mixed-grass prairie with a pronghorn doe (the fastest land animal in North America) in the background. I was lucky to see this shot coming. We were watching this mature bull stride across the prairie and I could see that, if he continued on the same path, he would pass between us and the pronghorn. When he reached the right spot a single click was enough to get the shot. Badlands National Park, SD.

They don't travel particularly fast, but they know how to get the whole shift done in 2 hours or less that's for sure.
A small herd of Pronghorn, the fastest mammal in North America, assessing the potential threat of the rolling red Toyota blind. Inside the RRTB: Page the photographer and Tsougrianis the filmmaker. Outcome: after posing in nice morning backlight, this group joined the larger group and meandered away from the park road. Several mature bucks worked to round up the stragglers. Fun to watch.

One of our fastest disappearing songbirds. Fortunately in Derbyshire they can still be seen and heard with their delightful buzzy call.

One of the fastest racing ships ever to leave Llwyngwril Systems' dry dock. Its catamaran shape enabled the pilot to turn quickly by adjusting the throttle to each engine pod.

I really enjoy how brickbending techniques can give smooth curves to spaceship hulls. The down-sides are that hatches are impossible to include and taking things to pieces to rebuild with extra greebles & numbers is a long process! The ship is strong and extremely swooshable, which is very important.
More images are available on my Instagram account.
This ship was featured on the Brothers Brick website and on Beyond the Brick's Instagram too!
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds of 93–104 km/h (58–65 mph) in short bursts. Its speed is enabled by a lightweight build, long limbs, and a balancing tail.
Cheetahs form three social groups: solitary males, male coalitions (often siblings), and females with cubs. Females roam widely in search of prey, while males defend smaller territories. They are diurnal, most active at dawn and dusk.
Major threats include habitat loss, human conflict, poaching, and disease. As of 2021, the global population was estimated at 6,517, and the species is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
The cheetah symbolizes both speed and ecological fragility, with its survival dependent on continued conservation efforts.

Fastest spec diesel X3 with 322bhp. Can also get a M40i petrol with 355bhp. Not a bad looking car compared to the old shape.
Male Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) sauntering across a frozen field. Pronghorn are the fastest land mammals in the Western Hemisphere, and only the Cheetah is faster. Scientists speculate that the Pronghorn, being built for maximum predator evasion through running, evolved to escape from extinct predators such as the American cheetah. Its speed greatly exceeds that of any existing North American predators. The Pronghorn has a large windpipe, heart, and lungs to allow it to take in large amounts of air when running. Additionally, their hooves have two long, cushioned, pointed toes that absorb shock when running at high speeds. They also feature an extremely light bone structure and hollow hair.
