Greetings All,
The magpies are well and truly back. One of the little black & white
so-and-so's took a shot at me this morning less than 1 km from home.
Avoid that particular section of road for a while I think.
Is it my imagination, or is breeding season starting earlier and lasting
longer? Someone reported an attack drawing blood in Kangaroo Ground Vic
back on 23/8. Last year, I was still being bombed in Gippsland Vic at
the end of the first week of October.
May be selective memory, but around 20 years ago I seem to remember this
being an intermittent hazard for a few weeks around Grand Final time.
Last year I did a ride near Yea on 4/9 and was bombed a dozen times or
more in one short section of road.
I'd like to see some clinical back-up to this, as to whether:
1. The mapgies are bombing longer, and if so why, and:
2. There seem to be a lot more of them than there used to be!
Watch the skies, you never know where they are. And the little bludgers
are a protected species as well, so you can't just shoot them either.
Regards,
Ray.
