Indeed what definitely was a Black Kite
always was accompanied by the call of a Whistling Kite (never by the
right sound and also I suspect at least once by a Red-tailed Hawk call as well,
as in the scream before the downward whistle of the Whistling Kite). I was a bit
surprised at also hearing a Riflebird at least once, though that was just in the
background. Still, what an excellent film (apart from that).

Leanne and I spent a couple of hours in a packed cinema
watching Rabbit Proof Fence - a lot of people taking in the SA
scenery. The strange thing was the way what looked like a black
kite sometimes sounded like a whistling kite. I also thought I
heard a bush thickknee. Are there many running about in the greater
Flinders ranges these days?
