Christiaan Nyssen has revealed the item that he believes would have prevented the attack.
cyclist who almost lost an eye after being swooped by a magpie is encouraging other riders to wear sunglasses this season.
“This bird turned around and went straight for the eye, did a backflip and hit me right in the eye again. A neighbour said I was the fifth person to be attacked.”Nyssen was left unable to see out of the eye from iris trauma with pupil dilation. Nyssen described it as a one in a million attack but believes it would have been prevented by sunglasses.“The magpie wouldn’t have had something to aim at,” he said.
Breeding season runs from about August to October, with magpies defending their nesting young six to eight weeks after hatching.
