Butcher bird gets my mate Vince !

30 Sep, 2021 - 5 years ago - on Royal Esplanade

In Australia, not only do our Magpies swoop cyclists, but also a smaller, more aggressive bird, the Butcher Bird, will occassionally swoop as well. My mate Vince was struck twice by a local butcher bird on our ride. On the way out and the way back. It ignored me completely.
