In the latest Gang-gang it is suggested that peregrines nesting on cliffs will be disturbed by houses being allowed too close.  There must be some other factor than nearness to humans involved in this since peregrines breed on a building in Water St Manhattan (and others on the Brooklyn Bridge).  Both of these locales have a level of human activity that even the most rabid ACT development lobbyist could only fantasise about.
 
I'm not suggesting that the Molonglo would benefit from the presence of The Donald but merely that there needs to be a clear statement of which aspects of human activity actually disrupt the birds activities.
