2) Every contact no matter how light or heavy counts for 2 points
3) Bird poo left on any part of the rider during an attack counts for 3 points
4) Every contact that draws blood from the rider counts for 5 points
5) Any bird attack is a legitimate point score, magpies, ravens, wattlebirds etc all count
6) Please keep a running tally of your moving target points with each post
7) The most tormented rider with the highest score at the end of the season (2012 calendar year) is declared the Moving Target Champion of 2012

Merging the posts from the old thread into the 2012 version has made DavidL the defacto author, sorry about that open roader.
If DavidL and Tim would be so kind as to repost their originals I should be able to make things right.
Thanks

I think our exceptionally cold winter and floods and then some fine weather might have triggered the earlier than usual nesting.
If that's as aggro as this one gets, good.
Re-posted as requested.
Rules agree with me.

Swooped twice; one on Wed. last week, one on Sunday (same bird).
At this rate all the swooping should be finished by Spring.

I'm hoping to take the Lantern Rouge this year with a nil score, good luck to all

For Novocastrians, it was in front of the Mayfield Motel opposite the lights into Warabrook. Be safe out there

So that would bring the running total to 4pts.

I'm personally scared witless by them. I was going to hold back from selling my car just so I could avoid Magpie season

And I don't care how silly I look walking my bike while holding an umbrella until out of his zone, nor what ridicule passing cars throw at me... a magpie's beak may make blood leak, but jibes will never hurt me.
I also had a swoop (though it seemed half-hearted) elsewhere back in January... are there out-of-season bonus points?

Can't we at least get the cold mornings finished with before these idiotic homicidal feathered fiends crank up their nonsense?

Three swoops each with a wing crack. No contact yet he must be still warming up.
Running Total: 7pts.
