Swooping attack for about 100-200m. No damage.
Reported by Leon
Repeated swoops of child on a bike. Wings made contact with side of face. This magpie has a long sweeping season usually early August through to November.
Reported by Shannon
One swoop (high) only. If this is the same bird as previous few years, he will become more aggresive in the near future. My previous experience with this bird is that he goes after cyclists...
