It is that time of year again when those who love the outdoors have to look up and/or keep their ears open as Magpies are starting to swoop on people around the country.

There were 65 recorded attacks across Australia this time last year and this year alone there have been 206 recorded attacks resulting in 39 injuries.

If you are attacked at all by a Magpie, make sure you sign up to and report the attack at magpiealert.com.

The website has a map showing past attacks across Australia as well as incident reports and even tells users what attacks resulted in injuries or non injuries.

Be safe out there readers.
