Raptor with prey over Ainslie

[Robin Hide <>]

Glancing up from my computer monitor at 4.50 pm this afternoon,  I had a 
two second glimpse through the window of a raptor at perhaps 30-50 m 
height flying fast carrying what looked like a pigeon-sized prey (still 
struggling) downwind in roughly the Mt Ainslie direction. Did anyone 
else by any chance see it?  My impression was a peregrine (size, head 
colour), though size may have been distorted by the dangling prey. A 
Hobby is - usually, but not in recent days - a much more usual sighting 
in this Corroboree Park neighbourhood.
