Hi Birders,
Recently a query was made about Peregrines in
Sydney. Peregrines are reasonally common in Sydney nesting on the cliffs in
Royal National Park, on cliffs near North & South Head and in Kur-ringai
Chase NP, Deep Creek Narrabeen, in Sydney CBD on office towers etc and in the
lower Blue Mountains. Non-breeding birds can be expected anywhere across the
city and at this time of the year, when the young have been fledged odd birds
can be found in areas not normally known for Peregrines! There is nothing
therefore unusal about a Peregrine at Pennant Hills, but it is always a great
deal of satisfaction to oneself when you do see them!
