Re: Peregrine Falcon list club

Laine got me my very first Lanner near Magoebaskloof.
A pair of Lanners in Grootbrak.
Another Lanner on the Phabeni road.
And two in one day between Nelspruit and Sabie.

That's 1,2..3,4, 5..6 Lanners.

Here is a picture of one, DD. So that you can recognize it when you see one one day when you are old and your beard is dragging on the ground. lollol

Re: Peregrine Falcon list club

So after a drought of 7 years and 3 months I finally got to see my first Peregrine Falcon. There is a saying that Murphy loves Africa big time! Since my first Peregrine in January 2011 I have now seen 5!! The latest one nogals from my office window. lollol

Re: Peregrine Falcon list club

The problem with this bird is that I cannot guarantee you a sighting. I first saw it 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday (I think it was)when Imax and I were chatting here at my desk. Then I saw it on the Friday when it was raining.

The whole of last week I had no sighting of it. And then on Saturday morning we got it and I also saw it on Saturday evening where it was perched for the night.

No sign again of it this morning.

Re: Peregrine Falcon list club

I read that African Black Swift forms part of its diet. Coincidentally I saw African Black Swift for the first time here around this building a few days before I saw the falcon. Wonder if it followed the swifts here and then accidentally happened on the building and thought: "Flock! What a lekka pozzie!" lollol
