Magpie Swooping a bandicoot

There were some sunflower seeds on the ground which caused the magpie to go after the bandicoot. It didn't last too long, and the bandicoot wasn't injured

Species: Australian Magpie and Quenda

Location: Perth, Western Australia (2024)

For non Australians, in the nesting season, SOME male magpies start swooping and attacking passersby. They can inflict nasty injuries and, in extreme cases, have injured people in the eye. As a photographer, getting swooped comes under the heading of extreme photography.
