Howdy, 

Just yesterday I observed 3-4 galahs being chased quite casually by what I
could only ID as either a Peregrine or Black Falcon. I only saw the
shillouette so I could not distinguish it as being either. It was so casual
one may have even thought they were simply flying together! 

If Phillip's comments about Peregrines having a taste for Galahs are true
can I then assume that the bird was a black falcon? Or course I won't hazard
a guess for my own lists or atlas surveys but it is intersting to speculate.
