And for Australians that means it’s swooping season! Good article here on what it’s all about with some nice footage of magpies in action. [http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-17/magpie-swooping-season-has-canberra-on-alert/6782858](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-17/magpie-swooping-season-has-canberra-on-alert/6782858) I love maggies but at the moment on my walk to work there are at least four places where the psycho little bastards are attacking. One point has three bird that will work you over from different directions at the same time! Over the years I’ve taken three hits that have drawn blood. Awesome birds for 95% of the year. 😃 ---
