Laurie asked about various Richmonds, but forgot Richmond, Tassie!

Anyhow I asked Akso about which Richmond and received this:

"Sydney,  Oooooops. Sorry  Akos :)"

Incidentally my most dramatic view of a Peregrine was in Beaumaris (SE Melbourne) in 2003 when one was chasing a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. The cockie landed on some power lines (doing a somersault?) and the Falcon went round low behind some houses and made another attack. I'm not sure when the cockie was but it headed straight towards me, talons lowered, but passed 5-10m overhead.
