I can not understand how a drone can keep relatively still in such high winds that I can not stay still in.

I think I was connected to 16 satellites but still can't get my head around it.
Later in the day the winds got up to 100 Km/H in Perth.

I am so surprised that the Osprey let you or the Mavic get that close to it.

Me too. It had just caught the fish and was probably very hungry and so wasn't going to let a meal go so easily. I was a good 6 meters away and zoomed in. It could hear, even in the high wind, and see the Mavic and was not happy about it.
