Yesterday (17 January, 2013) at 12:05 on the O'Connor flank of Black
Mountain, my attention was drawn to a falcon soaring overhead in a
thermal updraft. Peregrine-like in form; creamish-white below with a
pale grey crown and grey moustachial stripe on a conspicuously pale
face, I realised that this was an adult Grey Falcon. While watching the
bird ride the thermal, I could see that the bird was pale grey above
with contrasting dark primaries. The bird soared ever upwards and
eventually disappeared from sight.
