Grey Falcon Study - Request for Sight Reports
http://www.jonnybird-australia.com/greyfalcon.htm
This Australia-wide study of one of our rarest endemic birds aims to increase our knowledge of the elusive and little understood Grey Falcon. The emphases of the project are the size of the total population, population trends, and to identify possible threats. On that basis it will be possible to assess the conservation status of the species and to suggest conservation strategies. Due to the difficulties to find the birds this project is impossible without the help of many people kindly reporting their sightings; please refer to the link provided. Thank you all for your much appreciated help.

Australasian Raptor Association
http://www.ausraptor.org.au/
The Australasian Raptor Association was established in 1979 to promote the study, conservation and management of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey (raptors) throughout Australasia.
The region extends east and south-east from Wallace's Line, and from the south-eastern portion of Asia, and encompasses approximately the south-western quadrant of the Pacific. It includes Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the South West Pacific.
We are a specialist group of Birds Australia, and have a close association with a number of government departments and research institutions throughout the region.
