Common at Swatow throughout the cool season. 



A Peregrine attended me on several occasions while 

 shooting on the sands near the mouth of the River Min, and 

 once struck a bird not far from me which I had slightly 

 wounded. Another, near Swatow, nearly carried off a 

 wounded Teal which was making off. It only succeeded in 

 ripping it up, striking the bird as it was scrambling up a 

 muddy bank in front of us.
