Australian Magpies normally are peaceful birds, but they become very territorial and protective during nesting season - sometimes (though certainly not always) with people, but always when a raptor such as this Whistling Kite comes too close to the nest. This Kite was being given a very hard time and beat a retreat, after even going inverted to see its attacker (see also PiPs).
