2 weeks ago while carrying out maintenance at Freshwater Creek Wetlands,
Chullora, I observed a pair of Peregrine Falcons catching dragonflys. It was
just on dusk and during the 15 minutes I was watching, the female caught 8
and the male caught 3. They would fly about a metre above the wetlands and
an open concrete channel running along side. Upon catching their prey they
would fly up to nearby powerlines to feed.
