At 15.40 this afternoon 2 Peregrines were harassing the Black kites overhead here in Sai Kung. Since we moved here in December last year I have not seen PF and presume these are arriving winter visitors. It is possible that there were 4 birds as the first two went out of sight but two birds reappeared about 5 minutes later. There was also a small number of swifts flying even higher than the peregrines. The falcons seemed to be moving East North East.

Thanks Mike. Very interesting. Before we moved here we were down in Silverstrand and did see Peregrines occasionally and I certainly saw them in Clearwater Bay CP. This is a good "look out" site half way up the hill so I can sit outside and drink coffee with 'scope, bins and camera near at hand and watch the world / birds go by. Just to cheer up my wife this afternoon we also had a guest appearance by Rattus rattus. The joys of rural living.
