And after much sitting on the ledge contemplating, the last Collins St Falcon baby flies!
Unless they make a reappearance, this bittersweet milestone draws this season with our feathered friends to a close. I’ll be walking the city looking up and wishing them well. Thanks for humouring my delight in these little weirdos.

Talk about four seasons in one day. Sun, rain, hail, the lot. Couldn't resist a pilgrimage to 367 Collins St to see where the falcons live.

Turns out the Collins St falcon kids can be a little scared of heights. Hopefully no one was in the laneway below.
