Peregrine Falcon makes unexpected visit
This unexpected visitor arrived after dusk at Tallow Creek in the Northern Rivers, New South Wales. It took a few moments to identify the bird landing for a drink in the dark. The pictures were taken at ISO 6,500 and are only usable thanks to the new AI assisted Denoise feature in Adobe Lightroom, which does a remarkable job of noise reduction.
A Peregrine Falcon lands on the shore of Tallow Creek Lagoon near Byron Bay in New South Wales Northern Rivers region.
After a wary five minutes checking for any danger the falcon enters the water to drink.
After a quick drink it is off again, then perching on top of a log “teepee” built at the high tide mark on Tallow Beach.
