Research on Chek Jawa so far

so I have found out some cool facts about chek jaw like how a bird i have never thought to actually live here in singapore,a few species of falcon which mostly live in the western countries that actually live here! I have researched on it and found some results and what are the falcons there live in chek jawa which i will mention about my favourite,the brown falcon although it looks quite plain,it is still a very good hunting bird.
The Brown Falcon,this is its Latin name, Falco berigora, is a member of the falcon genus found in the drier regions of Australia. Even though it is as large as the largest falcon, it usually hunts smaller prey. The Brown Falcon usually nests in old nests abandoned by other birds. it actually also occupies a large area of inland Australia. The maximum length a Brown Falcon can grow is about 45 cm in length.Although it is in the least concerned about in its numbers around the world,it still does not mean we can take it for granted n hunt it like other endangerd species of falcon.I have 1 other species of falcon which were hunted to extinction like the American pergerine falcon,there is not only one species of peregrine falcon.
Theres also the tundra peregrine ,peales pergerine and the artic peregrine.This tells me not to take any animal for granted.

a picture of a brown falcon is shown below
