Over the last few days of stagnant, lingering southerly winds, I re-read JA Baker's The Peregrine.
Then today, I saw one hunting from my balcony.
I think it may be the juvenile that over-wintered last year, taking up residence on the Hudson Tea building, which has a steady supply of ring-billed gulls and pigeons.
I won't try to describe it.
The only person who has done justice to this bird in prose is JA Baker, so I'd just urge you to read his book.
