Is a gannet faster than a Peregrine Falcon?

No, a gannet is not faster than a peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon is known for its incredible speed, reaching up to 240 mph (386 km/h) during a dive, making it the fastest bird and one of the fastest animals on the planet. In contrast, gannets are fast flyers, but they typically fly at speeds around 50-60 mph (80-97 km/h). Thus, the peregrine falcon significantly outpaces the gannet.
