Specimens of the dark-morphology version of Brown Falcons were spotted by us in September/October of 2006, in different locations 20-30 km south-west of Narrabri, New South Wales. Once seen close enough to identify them correctly, Brown Falcons appear to be quite common in inland NSW. Also spotted in July 2007 50 km south of Narrabri.

Brown Falcons are small to medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). The female is larger than the male. The Brown Falcon has a range of plumage colours, from very dark brown to light brown above and off-white below. Generally, the upperparts are dark brown and the underparts are pale buff or cream. The sides of the head are brown with a characteristic tear-stripe below the eye. Birds from the tropical north are very dark, with a paler face and undertail, while those from central Australia are paler all over. More
