I see what Shorty means. There is also this account from Southern Qld, once again at a dam, just last year.

I went to Cotter Dam this morning. No Falcons with strange accents but this immature White Bellied Sea Eagle flew over the dam wall heading SW.

I have it on the Australian Twitchers Facebook page and a gentleman named Rohan Clarke has stated it is a Northern Hemisphere bird but looked a bit odd. I then remembered that i had bought up the shadows to see the under sise of the bird.
I have now reset the pic as taken with no enhancements.

We went for a walk on the Honyong-Cotter walking track yesterday and at the first earth filled dam from the main dam i spotted a Falcon and from a fleeting glace
thought Hobby so i took a quick off the hip shot to check my id later.
It turned out to be a Peregrine but it does not look like one of ours and i am thinking ssp calidus, thoughts?
We may not be able to confirm this from my only lousy pic so if anyone is going out to Cotter this weekend please keep an eye out for it. It would be great if
someone could get a better pic.
