Re: birding-aus Magpie defences while cycling?

I looked at the site suggested by Martin O'Brien 

http://www.act.gov.au/environ/magpies.html

Bit surprising it doesn't mention the importance of protecting eyes, eg.
by wearing glasses/goggles or - better still for an avid birdo -
binoculars attached to the helmet.

This annual topic always reminds me of the black-shouldered kite I was
watching not far from its nest. It got bigger and bigger in my bins -
fortunately I ducked in time.
