New Zealand's most fearsome bird, The Magpie, for which I've had the most healthy respect ever since I was a paperboy

Though I'm sure a birder might know a more fearsome bird, I still wear the scars....
Been careful over nesting season ever since :)

While I don't have any lasting damage (yet to display any indication of brain damage.. I think), I still distinctively remember the feeling of Skua slamming their feet into the back of my head and side of my face when I got too close to their nest.
