Peregrine Falcons of State Line Lookout
The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the Peregrine, and historically as the Duck Hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head and "moustache". As is typical of bird-eating raptors, Peregrine Falcons are sexually dimorphic, females being considerably larger than males. The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 200 mph during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a Peregrine Falcon is 242 mph.

State Line Lookout
State Line Lookout is a scenic overlook on the Palisades. It is situated at the highest point on the Palisades Cliffs (elevation 527 ft.), about a mile south of the New Jersey–New York state line. The area is open every day during daylight hours only. There is no fee for parking.
From September through early November, volunteer observers record the migration of raptors from the lookout point at State Line Lookout, from 9 AM to 4 PM, volunteer availability and weather conditions permitting.
Visitors are always welcome at the hawk watch (binoculars recommended).
State Line Hawk Watch, sponsored with the Hawk Migration Association of North America was founded in 1997 and is one of around a dozen official New Jersey hawk watch sites.

Despite being the fastest-growing city in Vietnam with more and more Western influence on every aspect of life, leading to a numerous foreign ice-cream parlours and brands penetrating and bombarding this market, Kem Ống – a traditional ice-cream type still holds a truly special place in Saigonese's hearts, especially among pupils and students.
Above is an ice-cream man whom sells Kem Ống on the street of Saigon. Everything is put in that little aluminium box behind him which is full of ice to prevent the ice-cream from melting under the tropical heat of Saigon. Mostly every Kem Ống seller having a small speaker with them to help them peddling, some still use a small bell like a man in the photo as a traditional tactic to keep people aware of their appearance.

SN/NC: Schizolobium Parahyba, Fabaceae Family
Common names: guapuruvú, guarapuvu, garapuvu, guapiruvu, garapivu, guaburuvu, vapirubu, ficheira, bacurubu, badarra, bacuruva, birosca, faveira, pau-de-vintém, pataqueira, pau-de-tamanco ou umbela. English names are: Tower tree, quamwood, parica, reach-for.-the-sky, guapiruvu.
The guapuruvu is a tree from the Fabaceae family, notable for its growth speed, which can reach 3 meters per year, reaching 20 meters, making it the fastest growing native Brazilian tree. It was initially described by J. M. C. Vellozo in 1825 under the name Cassia parahyba. Tree native to Brazil, which many confuse with yellow ipê. Nothing to do with it, it's a variant of Rosewood.
It is the symbolic tree of Florianópolis, capital of Santa Catarina, and used in the construction of artisanal canoes in much of the Brazilian coast.
It is a light wood and therefore used to build canoes and a single tree can produce an entire canoe, as long as it is a tree that is more than 30 or 40 years old. It should be planted away from houses as it breaks branches very easily during storms and winds. Used to make crates, door cores and forms and concrete and boxes.
Large, showy, yellow flowers. Elegant, majestic, straight, tall and cylindrical trunk, almost smooth bark, with a very characteristic gray color. It always attracts attention in the landscape.
O guapuruvu é uma árvore da família das fabáceas, notável pela sua velocidade de crescimento que pode atingir 3 metros por ano, chegando aos 20 metros,sendo a árvore nativa brasileira de mais rápido crescimento. Foi inicialmente descrita por J. M. C. Vellozo em 1825 sob o nome de Cassia parahyba. Árvore nativa do Brasil, que muitos confundem com ipê amarelo. Nada a ver, é uma variante do Jacarandá.
É a árvore símbolo de Florianópolis, capital de Santa Catarina, e utilizada na construção de canoas artesanais em boa parte do litoral brasileiro.
É uma madeira leve e por isso mesmo usada para construir canoas e uma árvore sozinha pode produzir uma canoa inteira, desde que seja uma árvore de mais de 30 ou 40 anos. Ela deve ser plantada longe das casas pois quebra galhos com muita facilidade durante tempestades e ventos. Usado para fazer caixotes, miolos de portas e formas e concreto e caixotaria.
Flores grandes, vistosas, amarelas. Tronco elegante, majestoso, reto, alto e cilíndrico, casca quase lisa, de cor cinzenta muito característica. Sempre chama a atenção na paisagem.
El guapuruvu es un árbol de la familia Fabaceae, que destaca por su velocidad de crecimiento, que puede alcanzar los 3 metros por año, alcanzando los 20 metros, lo que lo convierte en el árbol nativo brasileño de más rápido crecimiento. Fue descrita inicialmente por J. M. C. Vellozo en 1825 con el nombre de Cassia parahyba. Árbol originario de Brasil, que muchos confunden con el ipê amarillo. Nada que ver, es una variante del Rosewood.
Es el árbol simbólico de Florianópolis, capital de Santa Catarina, y utilizado en la construcción de canoas artesanales en gran parte de la costa brasileña.
Es una madera liviana por lo que se utiliza para construir canoas y de un solo árbol se puede producir una canoa entera, siempre y cuando sea un árbol que tenga más de 30 o 40 años. Se debe plantar lejos de las casas ya que rompe las ramas con mucha facilidad durante las tormentas y los vientos. Se utiliza para fabricar cajas, núcleos y encofrados de puertas, hormigón y cajas.
Flores grandes, vistosas y de color amarillo. Tronco elegante, majestuoso, recto, alto y cilíndrico, de corteza casi lisa, de color gris muy característico. Siempre llama la atención en el paisaje.
Le guapuruvu est un arbre de la famille des Fabacées, caractérisé par sa vitesse de croissance, qui peut atteindre 3 mètres par an et atteindre 20 mètres, ce qui en fait l'arbre indigène brésilien à la croissance la plus rapide. Il a été initialement décrit par J. M. C. Vellozo en 1825 sous le nom de Cassia parahyba. Arbre originaire du Brésil, que beaucoup confondent avec l'ipê jaune. Rien à voir, c'est une variante du Rosewood.
C'est l'arbre symbolique de Florianópolis, capitale de Santa Catarina, et utilisé dans la construction de pirogues artisanales sur une grande partie de la côte brésilienne.
C'est un bois léger et donc utilisé pour construire des pirogues et un seul arbre peut produire une pirogue entière, à condition qu'il s'agisse d'un arbre de plus de 30 ou 40 ans. Il doit être planté loin des maisons car il casse très facilement les branches lors des tempêtes et des vents. Utilisé pour fabriquer des caisses, des noyaux et des coffrages de portes, du béton et des boîtes.
Grandes fleurs jaunes voyantes. Tronc élégant, majestueux, droit, haut et cylindrique, écorce presque lisse, de couleur grise très caractéristique. Il attire toujours l'attention dans le paysage.
De guapuruvu is een boom uit de Fabaceae-familie, opmerkelijk vanwege zijn groeisnelheid, die 3 meter per jaar kan bereiken en 20 meter kan bereiken, waardoor het de snelstgroeiende inheemse Braziliaanse boom is. Het werd aanvankelijk beschreven door JMC Vellozo in 1825 onder de naam Cassia parahyba. Boom afkomstig uit Brazilië, die velen verwarren met gele ipê. Heeft er niets mee te maken, het is een variant van Rosewood.
Het is de symbolische boom van Florianópolis, de hoofdstad van Santa Catarina, en wordt gebruikt bij de bouw van ambachtelijke kano's in een groot deel van de Braziliaanse kust.
Het is een lichte houtsoort en wordt daarom gebruikt om kano's van te bouwen. Uit één enkele boom kan een hele kano voortkomen, zolang het maar een boom is die ouder is dan 30 of 40 jaar. Het moet uit de buurt van huizen worden geplant, omdat het tijdens stormen en wind heel gemakkelijk takken breekt. Wordt gebruikt voor het maken van kratten, deurkernen en vormen, beton en dozen.
Grote, opvallende, gele bloemen. Elegante, majestueuze, rechte, hoge en cilindrische stam, bijna gladde bast, met een zeer karakteristieke grijze kleur. Het trekt altijd de aandacht in het landschap.
Il guapuruvu è un albero della famiglia delle Fabaceae, notevole per la sua velocità di crescita, che può raggiungere i 3 metri all'anno, raggiungendo i 20 metri, rendendolo l'albero autoctono brasiliano a più rapida crescita. Fu inizialmente descritta da J. M. C. Vellozo nel 1825 con il nome Cassia parahyba. Albero originario del Brasile, che molti confondono con l'ipê gialla. Niente a che vedere con questo, è una variante del Palissandro.
È l'albero simbolo di Florianópolis, capitale di Santa Catarina, e utilizzato nella costruzione di canoe artigianali in gran parte della costa brasiliana.
È un legno leggero e quindi utilizzato per costruire canoe e da un solo albero si può produrre un'intera canoa, purché si tratti di un albero che abbia più di 30 o 40 anni. Va piantato lontano dalle case poiché spezza i rami molto facilmente durante i temporali e i venti. Utilizzato per realizzare casse, nuclei e forme di porte, cemento e scatole.
Fiori grandi, vistosi, gialli. Tronco elegante, maestoso, diritto, alto e cilindrico, corteccia quasi liscia, dal colore grigio molto caratteristico. Attira sempre l'attenzione nel paesaggio.
Der Guapuruvu ist ein Baum aus der Familie der Fabaceae, der sich durch seine Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit auszeichnet, die 3 Meter pro Jahr und 20 Meter erreichen kann, was ihn zum am schnellsten wachsenden einheimischen brasilianischen Baum macht. Sie wurde erstmals 1825 von J. M. C. Vellozo unter dem Namen Cassia parahyba beschrieben. In Brasilien beheimateter Baum, den viele mit gelbem Ipê verwechseln. Damit hat es nichts zu tun, es ist eine Variante von Rosewood.
Es ist der symbolische Baum von Florianópolis, der Hauptstadt von Santa Catarina, und wird in weiten Teilen der brasilianischen Küste für den Bau handgefertigter Kanus verwendet.
Es ist ein leichtes Holz und wird daher zum Bau von Kanus verwendet. Aus einem einzigen Baum kann ein ganzes Kanu entstehen, sofern es sich um einen Baum handelt, der älter als 30 oder 40 Jahre ist. Es sollte entfernt von Häusern gepflanzt werden, da es bei Sturm und Wind sehr leicht Äste abbricht. Wird zur Herstellung von Kisten, Türkernen und -formen sowie Beton und Kisten verwendet.
Große, auffällige, gelbe Blüten. Eleganter, majestätischer, gerader, hoher und zylindrischer Stamm, fast glatte Rinde, mit einer sehr charakteristischen grauen Farbe. Es zieht immer die Aufmerksamkeit in der Landschaft auf sich.
グアプルブはマメ科の木で、その成長速度が特徴で、1年に3メートル、高さは20メートルに達することもあり、ブラジル原産の木としては最も早く成長する木です。 1825 年に J. M. C. Vellozo によって Cassia parahyba という名前で最初に記載されました。ブラジル原産の木で、黄色のイペと混同される人が多いです。それとは何の関係もありません、それはローズウッドの変種です。
この木はサンタ カタリーナ州の州都フロリアノポリスの象徴的な木であり、ブラジルの海岸の多くで職人用カヌーの建造に使用されています。
軽い木材なのでカヌーの建造に使用され、樹齢30年、40年以上であれば1本の木からカヌー全体を作ることができます。嵐や風で枝が折れやすいので、家から離れた場所に植える必要があります。木箱、ドアコア、型枠、コンクリート、箱の製造に使用されます。
大きくて派手な黄色い花。エレガントで雄大な、まっすぐで背の高い円筒形の幹、ほぼ滑らかな樹皮、非常に特徴的な灰色です。風景の中で常に注目を集めています。
الجوابوروفو هي شجرة من الفصيلة البقولية، تتميز بسرعة نموها التي يمكن أن تصل إلى 3 أمتار سنويًا، وتصل إلى 20 مترًا، مما يجعلها الشجرة البرازيلية المحلية الأسرع نموًا. تم وصفه في البداية بواسطة جي إم سي فيلوزو في عام 1825 تحت اسم كاسيا باراهيبا. شجرة موطنها البرازيل، والتي يخلط الكثيرون بينها وبين ipê الأصفر. لا علاقة له بذلك، إنه نوع مختلف من خشب الورد.
إنها الشجرة الرمزية لفلوريانوبوليس، عاصمة سانتا كاتارينا، وتستخدم في بناء الزوارق الحرفية في جزء كبير من الساحل البرازيلي.
وهو خشب خفيف ولذلك يستخدم في بناء الزوارق ويمكن لشجرة واحدة أن تنتج زورقًا كاملاً، طالما أن عمر الشجرة يزيد عن 30 أو 40 عامًا. ويجب زراعتها بعيداً عن المنازل لأنها تكسر الأغصان بسهولة أثناء العواصف والرياح. تستخدم في صناعة الصناديق وقلب الأبواب وقوالبها والخرسانة والصناديق.
زهور كبيرة، مبهرة، صفراء. جذع أنيق، مهيب، مستقيم، طويل، أسطواني، لحاء ناعم تقريبًا، ذو لون رمادي مميز جدًا. إنه يجذب الانتباه دائمًا في المناظر الطبيعية.
瓜普鲁武树是一种豆科植物，以其生长速度著称，每年可长高3米，成树高达20米，是巴西本土生长最快的树种。它最初由J. M. C. Vellozo于1825年描述并命名为 Cassia parahyba。
这种树原产于巴西，常被许多人误认为是黄花伊佩树，但二者毫无关系，它实际上是黄檀木的一种变种。
它是圣卡塔琳娜州首府弗洛里亚诺波利斯的象征性树木，并在巴西大部分海岸地区被用于建造手工独木舟。
其木材质地轻盈，因此被用于制造独木舟，一棵超过30或40年树龄的树便可造出一整艘独木舟。但应注意，此树需种植在远离房屋的地方，因为在风暴和强风中其树枝极易折断。该木材也常用于制造板条箱、门芯板、模具、混凝土模板及各种箱体。
它开着大型、艳丽的黄色花朵。树干优雅、雄伟、笔直、高耸且呈圆柱形，树皮几乎光滑，带有非常独特的灰色。在自然景观中，它总能吸引人们的目光。
TVC Millennium Falcon. Probably the largest toy in my collection.
And it's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy!
This is either the fastest bird in the world or I don't know what I am doing. I have been testing settings for bird picture taking at my feeding station. This was taken at 1/1600 s with flash in the manual mode at full power. Frequently, birds flinched like this in the response to the flash. The mystery is that with these settings and in the absence of the pre-flash they should have no chance to respond fast enough to be captured in the photo! Assuming synchronous onset of the flash and opening of the shutter, this bird would have to respond in approximately 0.6 ms! This seems to be physically impossible.
Any ideas what is going on?
Anyway, I like the feather structure in this photo.
This is one of Reading's 34 Scania K270UB methane gas buses, fitted with Alexander Dennis Enviro 300SG bodywork and new in 2013. This vehicle holds the record as the fastest service bus in the world (i.e.not a coach), recording speeds of over 75 mph. It was seen in central Reading on 8 January 2018.

Launched in 1860, at a time of empire and Britain’s dominance in trade and industry, Warrior was the pride of Queen Victoria’s fleet.
Powered by steam and sail, she was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day and had a lasting influence on naval architecture and design. Work and life on board reflected both the changes the Royal Navy experienced as it evolved into a professional service and shifts in Victorian society.
Built to counter the latest French battleship, Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate deterrent. Yet by igniting a new era in naval technology, she soon became outdated. After 22 years’ service, Warrior’s hull was to be used as a depot, floating school and an oil jetty.
Painstakingly restored in Hartlepool and back home in Portsmouth since 1987, Warrior is a unique survivor of the once formidable Victorian Black Battlefleet and now serves as a museum ship, visitor attraction, popular private hire venue and more.

The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a cosmopolitan bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest bird in the world, as well as the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). As is typical for bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males.
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rain forests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
Although its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will sometimes hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well-respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.
The peregrine falcon has a body length of 34 to 58 cm (13–23 in) and a wingspan from 74 to 120 cm (29–47 in).[10][16] The male and female have similar markings and plumage, but as in many birds of prey the peregrine falcon displays marked sexual dimorphism in size, with the female measuring up to 30% larger than the male. Males weigh 330 to 1,000 g (0.73–2.20 lb) and the noticeably larger females weigh 700 to 1,500 g (1.5–3.3 lb). In most subspecies, males weigh less than 700 g (1.5 lb) and females weigh more than 800 g (1.8 lb), with cases of females weighing about 50% more than their male breeding mates not uncommon. The standard linear measurements of peregrines are: the wing chord measures 26.5 to 39 cm (10.4–15.4 in), the tail measures 13 to 19 cm (5.1–7.5 in) and the tarsus measures 4.5 to 5.6 cm (1.8–2.2 in).
The back and the long pointed wings of the adult are usually bluish black to slate grey with indistinct darker barring (see "Subspecies" below); the wingtips are black. The white to rusty underparts are barred with thin clean bands of dark brown or black. The tail, coloured like the back but with thin clean bars, is long, narrow, and rounded at the end with a black tip and a white band at the very end. The top of the head and a "moustache" along the cheeks are black, contrasting sharply with the pale sides of the neck and white throat. The cere is yellow, as are the feet, and the beak and claws are black. The upper beak is notched near the tip, an adaptation which enables falcons to kill prey by severing the spinal column at the neck. The immature bird is much browner with streaked, rather than barred, underparts, and has a pale bluish cere and orbital ring.
The peregrine falcon lives mostly along mountain ranges, river valleys, coastlines, and increasingly in cities. In mild-winter regions, it is usually a permanent resident, and some individuals, especially adult males, will remain on the breeding territory. Only populations that breed in Arctic climates typically migrate great distances during the northern winter.
The peregrine falcon reaches faster speeds than any other animal on the planet when performing the stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph), hitting one wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact. The air pressure from such a dive could possibly damage a bird's lungs, but small bony tubercles on a falcon's nostrils are theorized to guide the powerful airflow away from the nostrils, enabling the bird to breathe more easily while diving by reducing the change in air pressure. To protect their eyes, the falcons use their nictitating membranes (third eyelids) to spread tears and clear debris from their eyes while maintaining vision. The distinctive malar stripe or 'moustache', a dark area of feathers below the eyes, is thought to reduce solar glare and improve contrast sensitivity when targeting fast moving prey in bright light condition; the malar stripe has been found to be wider and more pronounced in regions of the world with greater solar radiation supporting this solar glare hypothesis. Peregrine falcons have a flicker fusion frequency of 129 Hz (cycles per second), very fast for a bird of its size, and much faster than mammals. A study testing the flight physics of an "ideal falcon" found a theoretical speed limit at 400 km/h (250 mph) for low-altitude flight and 625 km/h (388 mph) for high-altitude flight. In 2005, Ken Franklin recorded a falcon stooping at a top speed of 389 km/h (242 mph).
The life span of peregrine falcons in the wild is up to 19 years 9 months.[54] Mortality in the first year is 59–70%, declining to 25–32% annually in adults. Apart from such anthropogenic threats as collision with human-made objects, the peregrine may be killed by larger hawks and owls.
The peregrine falcon is host to a range of parasites and pathogens. It is a vector for Avipoxvirus, Newcastle disease virus, Falconid herpesvirus 1 (and possibly other Herpesviridae), and some mycoses and bacterial infections. Endoparasites include Plasmodium relictum (usually not causing malaria in the peregrine falcon), Strigeidae trematodes, Serratospiculum amaculata (nematode), and tapeworms. Known peregrine falcon ectoparasites are chewing lice, Ceratophyllus garei (a flea), and Hippoboscidae flies (Icosta nigra, Ornithoctona erythrocephala).
In the Arctic Peregrine falcons chasing away small rodent predators from their nesting territory and Rough-legged Hawks (Buteo lagopus) could use these hot spots as a nesting territory.

Well, my 27 journey on Friday night was certainly eventful!
I managed to get from Chalk Farm-Paddington in a staggering time of 16 minutes, achieved by constant fast speeds (45mph on Bayham Street :D) and some incredible sharp acceleration on corners, as well as a couple of traffic signals that were skipped! This bus was 12 minutes early by Westbourne Grove and it was one of the most thrilling, exciting and enjoyable trips of this year, even if fellow members on board weren't entirely amused!
The 27 is well-known for fast late night trips, does anyone else know of some routes that have really tight running time for the early morning or late evening?
Cheers
Here is the "Worlds Fastest Car" from the 1920's. It was the first production car that reached a speed of over 100 mph. Around 160 "Grand Sport" version were made!
