I noted a comment about a Grey Falcon in Canberra in the recent thread on
Grey Falcons.  I would be very careful about accepting any such records. I
remember long ago during the RAOU ATlas Project, we had a record of a Grey
Falcon not far west of Canberra.  We checked it out, and it turned out to be
a grey-phase Australian Kestrel. I saw my life Grey Falcon in the far
northeast of South Australia. 

All that glitters is not gold nor is every grey raptor a Grey Falcon!
