Observation details
I was in the middle of photographing the Snipe when I realised some of the nearby Miners sounded very uneasy; as always, this was the immediate sign that a Raptor was afoot... so I looked up, and there it was, purposefully forging across the sky on pointed wings, was a very handsome Peregrine!! It evidently hung around for a fair while, seeing as the Cockatoos and Ravens would intermittently get very angry up at the North End, and I did see it briefly again in that area... what a handsome, powerful creature!!
