National and ACT status of the Grey Falcon

[Martin Butterfield <>]

How can a vagrant also be a migrant?  One implies irregular movements the other implies regular movements?

The Biodiversity Conservation staff of the ACT Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development agency have advised COG about the status of the Grey Falcon, as follows:

Just to let you know that the Grey Falcon was listed as Vulnerable under the [Commonwealth] EPBC Act on 9 July 2020 http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publicspecies.pl?taxon_id=929 however the ACT will not be listing it as threatened on the ACT list at this stage as it is considered a vagrant migrant to the ACT. Further information is available in the Commonwealth Conservation Advice http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/species/pubs/929-conservation-advice-09072020.pdf for the Species.

 

It is listed as ‘endangered’ in NSW. COG classifies it as a ‘non-breeding vagrant’ in the ACT.
