Black Kite Hughes Oval

[mariko buszynski <>]

In Japan a Black Kite is the only one to represent kite family.  They are basically scavengers and I only once saw one with a grass snake. Black Kites are extremely common in the countryside. Birds do not bother to mob them though they mob much smaller birds of prey, such as  Kestrel.  Carrion Crows may harass them when they do not have anything better to do.  Is it common in Australia for birds to mob a Black Kite?

On 17/02/16 I reported a Black Kite flying over Hughes Oval mobbed by dozens of SC Cockatoos. This morning at about 6.50 the same thing happened, only the mobbers were dozens of Galahs. Kite slowly moved off north.
