Has anyone here had their drone taken down by a bird? Think I came close, very close.
Was researching good locations for my Steam Trains by drone videos. This one the Royal Albert Bridge.

Yip, they’re not too keen on drones and get even more aggressive during breeding season, which it is right now.

Hi geoffp. If you see birds circling your drone, ascend 10 metres. If it flies up, go 10 metres higher. The bird will tire as they do not like flying up.

I think birds have prior claim to the airspace - by several million years!!!

I think they lose that argument when they meet a RR Trent 900

From someone who flys over the sea on a very regular basis, that was a curious seagull. If it was in attack mode I don’t think you would have had the opportunity to post the video.
Yes that’s my thoughts, the drone was away from Nesting spots.
