Peregrine Falcon Flying Show – 28 October 2022

I headed back to Sydney’s coastal cliffs to take more photos of a family of Peregrine Falcons. I had visited this family not long before.

This visit I was able to get some better photos of them interacting in the air.

Here is one of the juveniles flying past at high speed –

This was unusual – a flock of Cattle Egrets flew past – and they were a fair way out in the sea.

Back to the Peregrines. Two of the juveniles were resting.

This adult was on guard duty –

One of the juveniles flew up. I think it was after food.

Another bird photographer, Biggles, was also on the cliffs, and he spotted a distant Humpback Whale –

There were the three juveniles in the same series of ledges. Two here –

And the third here –

A White-faced Heron flew past.

At least two of the juveniles flew down after it. Perhaps a practice attack?

And then some nice flying together –

It had been an amazing display of flying during my visit. It is really special to see these young birds fly so well.
