Magpie attack on Cyclist - Cotter Road, Canberra ACT 2611

November 11th, 2014

This magpie has a rap sheet a mile long with many grevious bodily harm incidents - after multiple contacts leading to bleeding scratches on the back and ear - this (murderous) magpie is not afraid of anything. Should have known better than to ride this path, although it was very late in the season.
Injured:Yes

There were 2 magpies here, both swooping at the same time. They were very aggressive, with some actually hitting my shoulders while I rode. Their territory is a little larger than others, so beware.
