We sometimes get Little Eagles in the area. I might see them a couple of times over a month or so then nothing for months. They predate on sulphur-crested cockies ... and don't the cockies know it. If I ever hear the cockies going berko I check for an eagle. Generally it's not - it's just cockies making noise - but sometimes I get a great view. I've seen an eagle go over me about 20m up. Also sometimes see peregrines. One day we watched one repeatedly swoop a nearby backyard. My suggestion is that there was some terrified pet guinea pigs or rabbits in a hutch in that yard.
