open season
Surprised no-one else has bothered this year, but I usually note the
date when the bombing season starts, and today one had a go at me just down the street. Now they'll be after us until early October at the least, a magpie bombed me on Cup Day in a remote spot a few years back. I'm sure we all enjoy watching over our shoulders, the swoosh of the attack run and sometimes the whack if they manage to hit us. Well, it's on again for another year. Cheers, Ray |

Neither do eyes on the back of the helmet. Little *******s. You can't just shoot them either, protected species, and they're only protecting their own little ones. Wish they had some other way of doing it than re-enacting the attack on Pearl Harbour every time you go to the shops. Bright ideas, anyone? Now is the time. Cheers, Ray |

Cheers, Ray Must have worked for Plovers then. We had some Magpie around here, nesting, they were aware of the locals and never attacked them, but anyone else who walked/rode past copped it. r |

I haven't had any magpie problems yet, but the other day I was nearly taken out by a crow that wasn't watching where it was flying. Bit of a surprise for both of us. -- John It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards. - Lewis Carroll |

Better that than a penguin, I guess. This year is going to sum up to be a bad riding year for me. Summer too hot, autumn I was away without my bike, Winter too cold and damp (not wet, just damp. Damn drought), spring too magpiey, summer too hot again. -- TimC An engineer is someone who does list processing in FORTRAN. |
