The Ferocious Magpie
There is a magpie who makes his home at Belmont Golf Links, Wanganui, every nesting season, and frequently attacks golfers driving from the fourteenth tee. This week he displayed new tactics in attacking a local business man, states the Chronicle.

It is claimed that there are more foozled drives from this tee, than from any other on the links, as the player’s attention has to be divided between the bird and the ball
