23 Sep 2016 Peregrine Falcons at Valley Lake, Keilor










Valley Lake is a new housing estate in East Keilor, a suburb of Melbourne. Properties are being built on the site of the disused Niddrie Quarry. The vertical cliff face is perfect for peregrines. Thank
Anna Lanigan for putting me onto the peregrines via the Facebook group Birds of Oz, a wonderful forum.

Today was my first visit to check out the peregrines and it took a while to find them but they were there OK. The female is low on the nest, which I guess means she has an egg or more then one. The male was out hunting as the pictures show.
