I was shooting a beach run for an estate agency when the segulls got me!
I managed to get it back, limping home
Here is the resulting video

Any approach from the top or side would surely condemn the critter to a life of feeding through a straw!
Often times even more than speed to escape gulls is a rapid climb before returning home.No I didn´t get the gulls on camera, it was about 1km away and as soon as i realised what was happening i flicked it onto sport and got out of there asap, they followed for a while, there was about 4 or 5 of them
No trying to be argumentative, but the hub is far from perfect. Only about half of it is still there, and the blade is missing. The missing blade may be buried in the sand where the drone hit and inverted.I saw the gulls, just not on camera, a friend of mine here lost his drone to the sea in a very similar attack about 1 mile south of here, his attack was quite close to where he was, I was approx 1 km away, he says that they simply mobbed the drone. Like I said 4 or 5 of them followed the drone back.
The hub was and is perfect, the prop was not at the "landing site". I might try a "will it fly" experiment with the damaged prop to see if it could have got back without it, it was certainly difficult to control.
