We have had several reports of protective male magpies swooping riders in three different areas around Castlemaine township this year. They are back again at the area around the back of the tennis courts (cnr of Greenhill Ave and Wheeler St), on the Campbells Creek trail just south of the Elizabeth St bridge (Newstead/Maldon rd), and also on the steep asphalt path leading from Kennedy st to the railway station. Please ride with care or avoid these areas.
If you know of any other areas where Magpies are swooping, please let us know through our Rider Input Page so we can spread the word.
