Clearly Magpie-larks do swoop but much more rarely than Magpies. I've
been swooped by Grey Butcherbirds - they are serious threats I reckon.
There was a Little Raven that had a go at we cyclists here a couple
of years ago. I've not heard of Ravens swooping and DSE's article
doesn't mention them.
Cheers
Steve
