me, I'm on the 23rd floor of the HSBC building facing west. I see them
fairly frequently but always briefly. Individual birds do seem sit on a
building on either Pitt or one further over a block or so down towards
Central that is a few floors lower than me.
I've got a friend in chatswood who also sees Peregrines around his way.
I had another friend who used to work in the TNT towers in Redfern who said
they nested on top of that building. I don't know if that pair are still
there as this was 5+ years ago.
I think Tom is right - it's not is there a pair, but how many?
cheers

Subject: Sydney - possible breeding Peregrines
Hi all
When I worked up at the north end of Sydney CBD in the Suncorp/AAPT/Qantas
Holidays building (depends what vintage you are), I used to see Peregrines
sitting on the louvres of the Grosvenor Building and the ledges on the
Westpac Tower - I often wondered if they nested on the latter.
Nowadays, I work at the south end of the City (World Square, between
Liverpool and Goulburn Streets) and also see Peregrines regularly and I
reckon I'd see more if I was higher up. (There's another Birding-aus
correspondent - I forget who - that works about 2 blocks up next to Bathurst
Street that has also seen them.)
So the question might be not is there one pair, but how many pairs?
Cheers
Tom Wilson
