It might have been Frodo or Frieda, but Brisbane is home to two pairs of
Peregrines (sky scrappers are good for something).
Brisbane has been host to a breeding pair for a number of years.
The local newspaper sets up a "Frodocam" most years.

Hi all,
We find them turn up occasionally in almost any habitat in Tassie, -
suburban, rural, coastal, mountain - but with no regularity or
certainty that I can ascertain.
Fantastic bird though!
