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"
