Incredible shot. We see lots of osprey at our place on Edisto. This looks familiar, where were you flying?

Great Shot. Glad your sky cam did not get damaged.

I've experienced the same thing. So, tell me...the environmentalists have conned lawmakers everywhere into believing that drones are a threat to birds very existence. Seems the other way around. Birds are more of a threat to drones!

My drone came back from a short flight with blood sprays on the body. I didn't see a thing and the ?damage? was one rotor seemed slightly looser than its partner... I have been mobbed by bees and bird up to crow and seagull size but the birds always threaten but pull away at the last moment. The bees were a different story.

Flying in our neighborhood in SE USA and was attacked by momma Osprey after flying over her nest. Close call. I don't do that anymore.View attachment 78391

Scary but a mother being a mother, but also a Great photo, and the look in those eyes!

Wow. Im surprised how in focus the bird is given that the buildings on the ground are in sharp focus.

Great example of the depth-of-focus this wide-angle lens has.
