we study the diameter of the partial orbit O z,M = {z, f (z), f 2 (z), . . . , f M−1 (z)} and prove that diam O z,M min M c log log M , Mp c , M 1 2 p 1 2 ,where 'diameter' is naturally defined in F p and c depends only on d. For a complete orbit C, we prove that diam C min p c , e T /4 , where T is the period of the orbit.
