My birding highlight of 2004 was on Good Friday
while sailing on Sydney Harbour just to the north of Shark Island.
We were heading back to the Bridge when a Peregrine
came from the north-east and attempted to get a gull that was flying just in
front of us. The falcon abandoned its second attempt as we were then right on
the gull.
The falcon then flew on in the direction of Shark
Island and I lost sight of it. I was very impressed by the gull's avoidance
manoeuvre otherwise it would have lost more than a few feathers.
Of all the 6 Peregrines I've seen they have all
been in Sydney.
