Magpie through the window

ando · 2005-06-24 07:58:02

With the warm nights we've been having lately I usually leave my window open a bit overnight. Well I won’t be leaving it so open any more. About 6am I heard tapping coming from my windowsill and then something hit the blinds. Next thing I see is a scared (not as scared as me!) black and white magpie flying towards my head…

I was visited on a regular basis by a robin which used to hop in to the kitchen, hop up on the table where he would peck away at any crumbs present.

I was also nearly killed by a seagull. I was on an old Honda 125 SJ, going along the Clontarf Road when this Kamakazi gull crash-dived into me. I missed going under the wheels of a truck by a gnats whisker.

magpies divebomb you if you go near their nest. they are a devil though and one was sitting outside my window at 5am squaking - not a nice wakeup with a hangover I can assure you.

never really been harrassed though by the critters......
