Hey Steve,
A few years ago when I was living in Carlton in inner Melbourne, I would be
regularly attacked by a Magpie-lark as I would walk along Princes St.
Interestingly, it would only go me when I was wearing a black vinyl jacket.
I suspect it must have had a bad experience with someone in that kind of
attire as it would totally leave me alone if I wore another jacket.
Then again, maybe it just had a good sense of fashion.

G'day all
A first for me today. I was swooped and had my helmet struck by a
Magpie-lark while I was riding to and from work. The spot was notorious for
an aggressive Magpie over the years but that individual has departed and
the Magpie-lark seems intent on continuing the tradition. I could only find
a couple of references to this behaviour and they seemed to all relate to an
individual in an Adelaide park.
Anyone else seen this behaviour with Magpie-larks? I must have a look in
HANZAB.
Cheers
