Love it. Amazing how mother nature mastered flight well before we humans even existed.

Thanks Mike! Yeah, I was kinda star struck!

Absolutely stunning!! Bit scary, but worth if for the shot!!

 

[JoostGT3]

Thanks Ray, appreciated! To be honest, I only later realized how little would have been needed for it to attack...

Wonderful! I had a similar encounter the other day while flying in the nearby hills. In my case I was " buzzed" by a peregrine falcon. The first I knew about it was when the collision avoidance kicked in and the drone suddenly stopped. It's magical having an encounter with a wild animal in their own element.

Here's my footage...

So the other day I was flying with my Mavic Pro over the river near my hometown.
Just cruisin', as the weather was quite ok for the first time in days, but nothing special to film.

I spotted a bird in the distance, and tried to get a bit closer, but I could have never dreamt of how the footage would turn out!

I hope you'll enjoy the film just as much as I did! Definitely made my day!

Lucky you did not become his lunch....

You didn't look edible!

I think it recognized a fellow admirer of the blue yonder...
