    Had one of these magnificent Birds sitting on our Pergola - just 3m from front door last week.
    Wife feeds birds her left over bread - (90% sparrows) wax eyes etc - and these Native Falcons get the odd one.
    Had one have a go at the Aussie Terrier on our front lawn a few years back too.
    If I was to come back in another life as a creature - this is my #1 pick

    We have a pair living up in Native beech approx 1500m behind us.

    That would be pretty cool have a pair living that close to you mate.

    Yes - when I was 10-16 yrs age - we had a pair in Tekuiti - they nested in a big old dead Rata.
    They used to dive bomb me whenever I walked past - could feel the wind from their attack - that is how close they got.

    Same locality the 1st confirmed sighting that the Blue Wattled Crow (Kokako) was not extinct after all !!
    By "yours truly" when I was 11 years old (1968/9)

    Nice Phillip. Trust you are well.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
