Swooped 4 times while walking up Aitken Street then turning onto Thompson Street. Must be nesting on the property on the corner. Lived here for years, first time there’s been a swoop anywhere...

Magpie tried to go for the ear four times as I was heading south, third hit drew some blood. The bird seems to live near the corner of Troughton rd and Sherrington st.

This little guy is a regular in this spot, and I got my first swoop today! It was right on school pick up time, and I think he gets stirred up by all the kids riding past, because he didn't...

Cycling eastward on trail. Swooped from behind about 20-30cm from face. No sound, no contact. Magpie landed nearby and continued watching me
