Or perhaps one of his relatives?

Being at work early this morning I was distracted by a shape zooming diagonally across my window. It turned out to be a peregrine - thought to be one of the pair nesting on the Brooklyn bridge. Wherever it came from it was hungry as it zapped what I think was a house sparrow and went and sat on top of the Uganda Mission building for a passerine breakfast. See piccie: is this eligible for the photo gallery since peregrines are a Canberra bird.

NB: the roof top in question is about 30 metres away, and the shot was right into the morning sun, which IMHO justifies the fuzzy image.
