When I was running on Cable beach , Broome yesterday I was swooped
aggressively by one seagull and two or three others came across to fly
above me but now swoop. I didn't stop to see if there were any
chicks(couldn't have been eggs as tide had been over the area I was running
on) but a glance while running didn't show any. Swooping continued for
about half a kilometre and was the same as a magpie, although calling
continuously.
when I came back down the beach presumably the same bird swooped again
although in a much more half hearted fashion.
this is my first seagull swoop. Black faced woodswallow, murray magpie,
peregrine and australian magpie and I think some sort of raven from memory.
My wife flushed spotted nightjar yesterday walking along Minyirr park near
cable beach.
