I’m from Aust and at any one there are up to 20 raptors within a 1km radius.
My maiden flight today with the M2P in Qld Aust and set up in a nice bare field with no obstructions. When I got about 10m agl, a nesting plover came straight for it and turned at the last minute.
I had to drop to about 1m agl and rth. Plovers nest directly on the ground that I couldn’t see
I just moved about 100m away. The bird kept squarking but stayed at its nest. Scary for a first flight
I'm a wildlife photographer and I've seen raptors attack and grab other smaller birds of prey on many occasions
I know that I have to be careful with raptors but how often do non agro birds chase drones?
I'm looking for some ideas to help when I spot a raptor
