Magpie at the Hawthorn smellodrone

[Bleve]

As the subject says .. he lives at the city end, I have 3 nice
beak-shaped dents in my helmet, thanks chum!

Not very persistant (or perhaps, he's smart and cottoned on that no, I
didn't want to eat his babies?), he gave up after a few laps and
annoyed someone else, or maybe got tired. I should get him doing
intervals I expect we'll get quite familiar, he wasn't doing it on
Tuesday ....

He's not that sharp, I reckon if I wasn't concentrating on riding, I'd
have been able to catch him by hand, it was a pretty clumsy swoop. I'm
not condoning killing him, but I bet someone who trains there, or takes
their kids there, will kill him, more's the pitty. I was kinda hoping
he'd swoop the tool who was there this arvo with no helmet on That
black beany won't help you, chum!

Ah. So maybe it's the helmet that's causing the danger! It could be that
the helmet is attracting the bird because it's shiny. Yet more proof
that helmets might do more harm than good. )

Ahhh. THe other guy was an arial ace. THis one sounds like a young
whippersnapper. A chance he will just learn then. It sort of makes
sense he is a little close to where the red baron was living. He
might just have moved into the vacuam. Lets train him

He's wasn't active yesterday, but he had a go at me today. He wasn't
particularly aggressive or persistent. On my next lap he was having a
go at a guy riding down the road Then he hid behind a tree and stayed
there.
