From "The Guinness World Records" (of June 2011)
The fastest dive that has been recorded was during one series of German experiments, when a peregrine falcon reached a velocity of 270 km/h (168 mph) at a 30° angle of stoop, rising to a maximum of 350 km/h (217 mph) at an angle of 45°.
Unofficially they have been recorded at significantly higher speeds.
