For many, this image, may not hold any real significance, but for the observant of 'my' (any) Peregrine falcon, this is a worthwhile silhouette.

During the past week, my closest neighbour, the Peregrine falcon, 'came home’, to his bathroom window preference, much earlier than usual. Can’t fault him, he also departed much later in the morning, 08:45+ vs. 05:30 lately.

Can’t blame him... here in Cape Town - with the current winter weather. He's been 'sleeping-in' for a few mornings lately. First time ever...

What he did manage to achieve (constantly) was a nightly state of ‘Load Shedding’ around him (ito my own living arrangements). It’s ‘lights-out’ when he is here – and that is about every night. The fridge light is (the) maximum light…
