PREY FOR A SIGHTING

-

KEEP an eagle eye out for the local birdlife. In particular, peregrine falcons nest in caves in these cliffs and often rest in the dead trees above the cliff line. The peregrine falcon is a powerful bird of prey, or raptor, that specialise­s in hunting other birds by diving at them in a high speed dive – called a ‘stoop’. Although widespread throughout the world, they are not a common species. They are native to Australia but are rare across all states and territorie­s.
