Birds can get upset if you get close to their nest. Maybe that's the reason?

A few days ago I watched a documentary about how wild animals that used to avoid humans are becoming more aggressive and fearless towards humans. It mainly talked about animals living in the USA (pumas, coyotes...), which previously weren't recorded attacking humans, but in recent years these attacks are more frequent and quite deadly. Obviously animals are losing fear of humans. Recently it happened to me that a titmouse flew onto my shoulder and then hopped from hand to hand like some domesticated parrot, flew away several times and then returnedzmeden

Yesterday during a run there was a strong rustle in the bushes by the road, all scared I sped up and saw a blackbird that was just preparing to attack. Lucky I have quicker steps and managed to run away from it.

Goshawk apparently really doesn't attack. That's why I definitely think it wasn't a Goshawk but a young Sparrowhawk. Both can be light brown. Unlike Goshawk, Sparrowhawk attacks humans when defending nest. (Source: http://www.gnezdilnice.si/index.php?path=kragulj)
It went after me zig-zag or left-right, with attacks from behind from tall trees.
Until it started flying over me I wasn't aware I was near the nest. I didn't see the nest, didn't suspect it was there and still don't know which tree it hid it in, because it chased me at least 600 m.
Motocross riders (near Šentvid near Stična) will surely have some trouble with it, since it has settled on their terrain.

Since I recreate on a forest path over which a goshawk nests every year, I can say that a couple hundred meters from the nest it warns me with calls, then descends towards me. When I turn my head towards it, it flies away. After 200, 300 meters it gets tired. The smarter one gives up.
