Grey Falcon at Bowenville
Hi Mick
Many thanks for your further info on Grey Falcon from Jonny Schoenjahn - identification hints very helpful. Even though I was convinced I saw a Grey Falcon (maybe wishful thinking), I must admit I wasn't aware of the bright orange-yellow areas Jonny mentioned, so it would seem that these have to be observed to claim categorically it was a Grey Falcon. We'll keep trying to see this elusive bird, keeping in mind above features.
Regards, Wes & Norma
