One of the more interesting encounters I’ve had out nature mapping. About 25 magpies surrounded me as a moved through “their” patch of forest. I went about 500m with this accompaniment before they dropped off as I left the tree cover and moved into a grassy area. Is this abnormal behaviour??

Yes it is abnormal; behaviour - but some one is feeding birds in this area and my guess is that they look like you
