Magpie Map

Every Spring the magpie season starts and cyclists regale each other with war stories. A pleasant morning ride quickly changes when a magpie slams into the side of your head. This map is aimed at tracking where they live so you can avoid the worst of them, or at least be prepared.

This is very much a work in progress at the moment but to get started what is needed is information on where the magpies are, the level of agression, and the last year they were sighted.
So please send the following information to magpiemap at gmail dot com
a) Latitude and Longitude, Use this map to find the Lat and Long coordinates
b) Magpie rating, ie. Red=has drawn blood, Yellow=strikes helmet, Blue=Swoops but no damage
c) Last year sighted,
d) any other notes eg. not a magpie but a butcher bird or wattle bird

Preferably provide the info in the following format: "-37.69995;145.19029;RED Last sighted 2006, Very nasty"
