Successfully escaped a swooping magpie while riding. The sound of its angry beak snapping as it missed by mere millimetres 😭

Magpie swooping season has been busy. But on this morning’s bike ride the magpies I saw were busy chasing a noisy miner. Then just when I thought I’d escaped, I was swooped - by a mob of ebullient rainbow lorikeets, high on their supply of bottlebrush nectar.

I just got swooped by two plovers (also known as banded lapwings), one very aggressively, so I swung my shoulderbag round my head as I walked.
