Welcome to Spring! Hazards of walking around the streets. These birds, apparently around 20% of this type, do this through the nesting season. September 2017.

Thanks for your comments.

This is not the only bird with this type of behaviour. It is the one most famous for it though. I've been swooped by noisy miners and attacked once by a walking ibis which must have had a nest nearby.
