Hi All,
Some coincidence(?), I happened to be in Civic this morning and was
walking past corner of London Circuit & West row at 9:50. I looked up at
the call of some Little Corellas. I saw a Peregrine Falcon flying a loop
around the Macquarie building, after which it perched on the top of the
building. Stopping to watch for about a minute it was clear this was a
male PF with a female (rather larger) perched about 3 metres away, also
at the top of the building Macquarie building (either side of the
circular emblem of the Macquarie bank). Judging by the movements it was
making, the female was clearly eating something. After that, I was in
the 9th floor of the AMP building where I could look across (slightly
down) on them. When I came out at about 11 am, they were no longer
perched there. I did also see 17 Little Corellas there.

Peregrine falcon flying more or less north along London Circuit 2 blocks
from Rydges Hotel at about 10:30 this morning. I was sitting outside
X-change coffee shop when I saw it.
