The birds love me!

I've had a swarm of wasps whilst flying a trifecta. I took it right up to get rid of them but quite a few git chopped up in the process haha

Took the Mavic for my 4th flight yesterday. The weather hasn't helped recently so I took the opportunity for a short flight over the neighbourhood. It turned out to be a very short flight as the pigeons immediately surrounded it. I landed the Mavic for a few minutes and they all disappeared, as soon as the Mavic was back in the air they came back.
I had birds coming close on all of my flights

I haven't had any bird encounters with my Mavic, but a couple with fixed wings.
Slope soaring a Zagi wing attracted a pair of hawks that stooped on it a couple of times. The best avoidance maneuver was a tight loop that got on their "6", which confused them enough they gave up.
I lost a 1.5 m electric glider, which didn't survive a hit on the left wing. The talon marks in the balsa were pretty impressive.
I've had as many as 6 hawks circling in the same thermal as one of my 2 m sailplanes, but they were just working the same lift I was.
