The black lamb and the grey falcon5/30/2023 In Sturt's notes to his 1845 contribution to Gould's set of specimens, collected at the interior of New South Wales, he commented that the pair were the only individuals to be seen in their seventeen-month exploration of the region. The grey falcon is often seen in family-type groups of an adult pair and usually one (but up to four) first year birds. The only times this bird has been seen in different conditions has been along the Queensland coast during drought years. When they have been occasionally seen outside of these areas, they have been found in similar dry, low altitude, open woodland or grassland. Most sightings of the grey falcon have been within the arid zones, with annual rainfall less than 500 mm. Very few have been seen on the Nullarbor Plain and in the Great Victoria, Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts. It has been sighted over most of mainland Australia except for Cape York. It inhabits Triodia grassland, Acacia shrubland, and lightly timbered arid woodland. The grey falcon is an Australian endemic, usually confined to the arid inland.
