Several years ago I went birding with a German lady, around the Brisbane
Ranges, and at Durdidwarrah Reservoir we found a pair of Whistling Kites.
They were very noisy and called a lot as they circled over teh
reservoir. My guest was most excited. She pulled out her camera and a
little tape-recorder and got both pictures and tape recordings of them.
She maintained that they sounded exactly like the European Red Kite,
even if their appearance was different.

I live and work in Alice Springs and I also work with Black Kites and Whistling
Kites. The calls are similar but the Whistling Kite has the 'inflection' at
either or both ends of the call. The Black Kite call is the constant 'chatter'
part but if you listen it doesn't rise in pitch like the Whistling Kite.
The Whistling Kite call is also slightly higher in pitch overall. When you
work with both you can tell the calls apart but may not be easy when you only
hear it sporadically.
