It was good to see this Peregrine Falcon perched high in a tree above the rooftops in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

They’re beautiful birds, with that fierce eye and the contrast between yellow and black colouring. I’ve seen just a few Peregrine Falcons before, usually in a wilder setting. Check out the posts about my other sightings of Peregrine Falcons.
