Default Blackhawks at night, Sydney North Shore

I'm in Eastwood, and the last couple of nights we've had blackhawks buzzing around at low altitude until very late at night.
Anyone know what is going on, and how long it will last for?

They must have missed one mailbox, then.
But thanks for the clarification

Sorry to sound pedantic .. That was not my intent .. I wasn't at the WOI event , and on reading the posts again , it became obvious that they didn't attend and were transiting the area .. Such a pity they didnt fly by , would have been quite a sight .. Apologies again ..
