User's notes

we were watching the Masked Lapwing family when the Noisy Miners began making a huge racket, noticed that 2 of the young Lapwings had vanished and the other one snuggled down in the grass and hid. The parents just stood where they were. Then a short time later we saw the reason for all of this, a very fast Peregrine Falcon flying through.
