Agree with Matthew. Def a Merlin. All Peregrines have huge black mustaches.

I wet yesterday afternoon and found 2 snowy's. One on Mile Stretch, which was surrounded by birders, and another on a Yates Street rooftop.

Nice pic of the peregrine.

I believe that this is a Merlin. Peregrine would have a black "hood" or "helmet", whereas Merlins have a faint brown moustache and a white eyeline. Smaller size and less frequent bars on the tail are also good clues.

Pond (FOY), a snowy owl remains and was in the sea grass on the east side of

the Pool...........and a Peregrine Falcon, I think.  Managed a photo from too far

away (just a spec in the frame) but posting it anyway to see if anyone agrees.
