Thorburn's first drawings of the Greenland falcon were made in the aviaries of Lilford Hall, Northamptonshire, in the 1880s while he was working for Lord Lilford on his Birds of the British Isles, and it was a subject he returned to making sketches and studies both in Regent's Park Zoo, London, and in the wild.
