Mynah's latest activity

My first strike in many years too. I have found that especially oystercarchers, in the breeding season (which is mostly all the time as far as I can tell) will definately go for a drone. They usually fly in pairs and have a specific squeeking...

And there I was, happily thinking 'luckily we don't have birds in South Africa that attack drones'. You have just proved me wrong, and I have very recently done a lot of Mini 2 flights along the West Cape coast... I have encountered nosy birds...

It all happened so fast, the oyster catcher swooped in and - it (luckily) fell into a bush (line of sight - right). I drew blood retrieving the drone but it was not even scratched - man those branches are mean to a man's calves.

For what it's worth, I recently had an 'unsuitable landing area' situation with the Mini 4 Pro, right above the landing pad where I took off from beginning the flight. It was getting dark so I contributed it to failing light conditions...
