Black Falcon – Bellarine Peninsula

I have observed Black Falcons several times since we moved to the Bellarine Peninsula in 2017. They are usually flying overhead, singly or in pairs, and are often calling. Today’s sighting was a lot closer!

I was driving about 250m from home when my wife and I saw a Black Falcon perched by the side of the road. I slowed down and the Falcon flew off as we passed, with a Galah in its talons.

I have observed perched Black Falcons from a distance with binoculars before but it was great to get a close-up view, even if it was quite fleeting.

Cheers
