Incident type: Animal encounter
Any incident caused by or involving an animal.
Magpie swoops in but in slow motion it is like a missile approaching
Angry little bird on my route home. It is not a magpie!
Cruising on the downhill and out of nowhere comes a shrieking magpie from hell. I wave him off but he’s back again, swooping and pecking. My friend does a counter shriek and a shape shift with his muscular physique. But wait his arms are too skinny to scare him off and he swoops again. We finally ride out of his territory and kudos to the patient drivers as they watch patiently and enjoy some comedy relief for the day.
Heading east along Gorge Road, Athelstone, SA on a morning ride. One kangaroo encountered bounding the same direction down the road. Luckily the oncoming van spotted said roo and I stopped the van behind me. A happy ending.

These two were on the hunt. Little man was going in for the kill, but his owner’s screams finally got through to him
A kangaroo is freak out and runs directly at us then falls on the road
An Eastern Brown snake is sunning itself on the bitumen just past the white post on the inside of the white line just where I’m riding, came up too fast to swerve just lucky it didn’t strike.
