Barcode scenery (marshland) then I got attacked by four birds.....

[Porky]

Hi all,

Another photo from me, a nice 10 mile walk with my lovely wife along the River Crouch in Essex, uk.

Ok so whilst taking this photo I was attacked by four birds so I put what I’ve learnt from this forum into practice. The four birds started showing an interest and started to circle the drone at quite close range. I ascended quickly and watched the birds circling to follow until they reached the height of the drone. I ascended to max of 390 ft, my limit, and again they followed! I decided to return to the home point to descend safely out of the way of the birds...little so and so’s!

As it seems quite a common problem I’d agree with what others on the forum have recommended and ascend as quickly as possible to get out of the birds way!



This photo was cropped down so you can see the four bomber birds, can be seen in the original top right??



Just added another photo from today, different angle of the original photo??

I really like that shot. Aerial views of the land reveal such interesting shapes and patterns. Glad the birds didn't get you!

Thanks guys for your likes, I just couldn’t believe what they were doing but ascending definitely works??

Good to know there are thousands of geese around here where I live they’re everywhere

There's no way that wasn't carved by visiting space aliens.

There were some Canada geese there to but they didn’t seem to take much notice of me, just the small bomber birds, don’t know what species they were..

I wondered what the bright lights were at night time coming from that area??

Nice shot, but I can't tell the price of that marsh from that code.

I was thinking it looked kind of like the folds of grey matter in the brain. Maybe the exposed brain of a giant swamp beast?

Priceless??

I wondered what barcode scenery meant. I thought it must be a new feature in the app haha

I’m trying... just need to get better in “post” now?

Thanks Thomas, I saw it on google earth and thought it would be an interesting photo (different)

I still can’t believe how the birds took an interest in my drone and when I ascended they circled round to gain height. It was interesting watching them do that.
