You can get close with the Mavic zoom so as not to mess with them.

Very nice, they were completely oblivious to you , and you got that shot of the mother bird protecting her young from falling off I imagine.
So much beatiful water did you get any shots of that across the beach skimming as you go. ?

It did look like the mother was protecting chicks but I think it is a drying technic Cormorants have to do because unlike other water birds they don't have a natural oil to shed water. So they all spread wings to dry after diving. I did get some shots skimming there and back but didn't look interesting.
Thanks for your words.

nice

How far away from them was your zoom?

 

[John Gowland]

Hard to say I wasn't thinking at the time as to how far away I was, I just thought how far before I disturbed them and then came back a bit more. Then I zoomed in. The aircraft was about 15 meters?
The Mavic 2 is so quiet especially with all the waves about.
I think that is what is so special about the Mavic 2 it's got a nice low buzz tone.

I think you answered the question. Saw on bird spread its wings either to prep for flight or air out his arm (wing) pits. Nice Job

Thanks RedBird20120

Great to see your video @John Gowland - I do like seeing videos from around the world.
I totally agree about the M2 Zoom you can get close-ups without being close...
I will post my short 'Egrets visit Thailand' video...… Check it out...
