Grey Falcon

Hi Folks
I am pretty certain I spotted a grey falcon in Edeowie gorge, on Edeowie Station on the Flinders Ranges on Sunday. I only saw it in the air, but circling, reasonably close and through my bins for a couple of minutes. Given how rare they are, my first 9 thoughts were "it must be a grey goshawk" but both range and habitat wrong for the goshawk, and it was greyish white rather than clear white below, and very clear black fingers are the end of the wings; flight pattern seemed right from the descriptions, too. 
Good luck to anyone who is visiting the Flinders in the next few days. Only back in internet range today
