Nobody told me to expect that

So here I am 4 weeks in thinking that I’ve mastered the art of drone flying, so of I went with my new addition(m4pro) to do every Scouse drone flyers Mecca… The 3 Grace’s.
I was into my 3rd battery when 2 fellow flyers past asked what I was flying when I heard one of the shout"jeesus that was close" me not lifting my eyes from the screen but just seen a flash of wings on it.
Having got home and downloaded the footage I traced the culprit and I’m almost certain it was a Peregrine Falcon, due it’s swoop and speed.

Any one else had a close call with of feathered friends.

Had a few close calls with Oystercatchers, such as this one on Orkney, who actually came closer… An unknown bird when I was above Eilean Donan castler - just a flash of wing, and a suicidal pidgeon today, who came very close to my AIR3 when I saw in sports mode - video will be processed in the next few days…

I once had an encounter with a Kestrel… I just hovered in position until it made a couple of passes and buggered off.

I wish my pictures/video were that crisp this happened so quickly it’s just a blur even when I slow the footage down.
