Peregrine Falcons

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

At a COG mtg in I think last November, there was an oral report of a nesting there.  It seemed reliable as the management were said to have taken steps to screen the site.

I reported to this line on 24 March, seeing, most likely the same pair, at the top of another building about 100 metres away from Rydges. Sightings of single birds were not uncommon in the area for quite a long time. I would think they have not nested before there or they would be well known to us, unless they are particularly quiet. Maybe at the tops of buildings they do not make a lot of noise audible to people down below.

Hi all,

How long have these peregrines been there and have they produced any young?

I witnessed the peregrine pair atop Rydges Lakeside in the city mating briefly around 5.30pm yesterday.
