It didn’t occur to me till I started reading The Falcon Thief: A True Tale of Adventure, Treachery, and the Hunt for the Perfect Bird that there was also a possible threat to the eagle herself: poachers, who steal raptor eggs and chicks.

Even the narrow shade under a gate is a great place to seek shelter from the sun on a hot day. This land is currently very green from the recent rains and in very wet years it floods and becomes a great breeding area for terns. Throw in a few hundred termite mounds and you have a great environment for birds.

Red-capped Plovers are also breeding along Cable Beach at the moment and we have observed several chicks and there are also newly laid eggs. Pied Oystercatcher family wandering the dunes.

Rufous Crab Hawk This particular wetland spills onto the sheltered southern coast – worlds apart from the roaring Atlantic pounding the east coast. I spun around just in time to catch a hulking Peregrine Falcon rocketing by. This individual flew in directly in front of me and proceeded to sit and preen for about ten minutes.

We soon positioned ourselves in the shelter to watch the birdlife and there was no denying it was a hot and dry day and the shade was appreciated.
