The Black Falcon is a large, powerful raptor endemic to Australia, characterized by its entirely dark plumage and preference for open woodlands and grasslands.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, grasslands, and savannas across inland Australia, particularly in the east.
How to spot
Look for its uniformly sooty-black plumage, relatively long wings, and powerful, direct flight. It can be confused with other dark raptors but its falcon shape and flight style are distinctive.
When to spot
Active during the day, often seen soaring or hunting over open country. Observable year-round.
