Flying over some trees about 100 yards away in sport mode.
A good 20 yards above them.
Not looking at the screen but watching drone when all of a sudden hundreds of birds appear from no where.
Didn't panic as they seemed well above me then all hell let loose
They seemed to be wanting to go in the trees that I was flying over.
They descend towards the drone and all I could do was drop it down.
In a split second it had crashed.
Oh dear I say to myself.
Walk to where it was and turned on the bleep in the find my drone
Could here it easily.
Walked through a load of stinging nettles only to find it 20 odd feet up a tree overhanging a small river.
Oh dear I said to myself.
In the water I go which was just below ball depth if you no what i mean lol.
Beeped it again the put on landing light.
As it's now getting dark I could see it easily.
Way out of reach.
Oh dear I said to myself. This isn't going to be easy.
A moments thought and decided to try and take off.
It'll either fly or fall into my hands.
Well it fell but only half way.
A good 10ft above me.
Managed to climb the tree and retrieve it.
Back on terra firma took props off and tried it.
Seemed fine
Props back on and yet again fine.
Manouvered it around the car park for a minute or two and it seems OK but now it's pitch black so back in the car.
Will try it tomorrow whoops today.
Cheers Mel
