There was a bit of drama this morning in Doug Larsen Park, Beenleigh Qld. A raptor was looking for corella for breakfast. It was one against 150. I didn't see it take a bird.
Is this serious individual an Australian Hobby, or is it something else? Thanks.
I think it’s a peregrine falcon, it’s wings are to wide for a hobby.

I'd say Female Hobby. My reasoning:
The 3rd photo seems to be more peregrine like...its head markings are more clear, and .the wings larger...that my gust be me tho.

There’s another race of a peregrine, it nor brown.

BTW an Australian Hobby would never tackle a Corella.

OK Thanks for clarification.
Must be different over here in the West (Perth metro). My local Hobby chases Little Corella all the time.
cheers!
thanks every one. Haven't see it since.
