Title: Peregrine Falcon in Sha Tin
Post by Betty on Aug 3rd, 2005, 6:56pm
Peregrine falcons(peregrinator) returned to the Grandtech Centre as last year.

One was back on Monday (1st August, 2005) and was also seen on the next day (2nd August).
One stationed there at 7:10am-7.30am today (3rd August).
Two were seen standing on the same buidling at 3:30pm.

The falcon was looking for preys this morning. It chased after Crested Myna but missed.

Betty,

You may have lost Penfold Park but Grandtech Centre is some compensation
