Injury: No

Was walking back home after going to a hair appointment, I had my AirPods in so I didn’t hear the magpie since my AirPods are noise cancelling but just as I got to the corner of the street I believe I got too close to their nest and a magpie swooped my just missing my ear. I could hear their beak snap right next to my left ear, I saw it land on a powerline and quickly speed walked across the road back home. It’s right near traf highschool so I’m hoping no school kids get targeted by this bird, I was lucky it just missed me.
