He swooped me yesterday when I went past with one of my kids on a tag-a-long. But left me alone this morning on the commute

They are getting flighty down here in West Gippy also - we may yet have a long season ahead of us....

Nesting has certainly started, everytime I goi to the photocopier at work I see one little fella busily building his nest in the tree below.

I sent my man through this segment on Athlon as a magpie test dummy and he counted 12 swoops. There is something really, really wrong with this magpie!!

Oh no! I logged my attack at http://www.magpiealert.com last year to warn other cyclists to watch out! I was lucky and only a nip near my ear

The Wallaroo Road swooper is back again...a fairly gentle soul, though.
