I also noticed the changing raptors in this sequence - I at least saw Brown
Falcon, Spotted Harrier, Black Kite, possible Black Falcon, and even one looked
possibly like a Grey Falcon - there may have been a Peregrine as well (as I
thought this is what took the bird in the end), though I am happy with Hobby
call (incidentally saw my first Hobby for a while hooning across the road).
Mildura lost the entire broadcast at the Crimson Rosella (on both digital and
analog). It also hadn't restarted at about 8:45 so anyone wanting to see the
last episode of East of Eden (or whatever it was called) also would have been
annoyed.

Kites can sound almost identical to a Whistling Kite...just lacking the fast,
descending whistle that Whistlers have. But I did think the call was from a
Whistling Kite and it's not out of the question that the camera was on a Black
and there were Whistlers around and that's what we heard.> > Mick> > > > -----
