Bird strike, or bird attack? 🤔

Very interesting video we home educate our children and would love to travel to take them to see some of these places in our motorhome , how do you find the aires ? Are they expensive. Have subscribed to your channel

Were you able to get it to land manually?

Thanks for your comments...which I have taken onboard..... Much appreciated

That you for your comment, very helpful and I will address this issue

do you think that if you keep your drone in the line of slight that this could've been avoided . you would've seen the bird coming you could've flown straight up or down ? ( I'm not criticising your flying by the way ) In my experience red tape makes a difference with most birds but only on really sunny days as the light will reflect off it . Good video 👍

Greetings. Nice adventure experience. Lovely video.

I think maybe putting two big eyes on it like Ken Heron might help, so it looks like a bird of prey? Maybe it might cause certain types of birds to try to defend against it though...hmm.

It recovered in the air after the bird dropped it? Wow that's impressive.

I've had 2 birds try and strike my mini 4 pro but both of them backed off at the last second. I put it down to the obstacle avoidance cameras tricking the birds to think they were being watched. Some birds won't attack if they are being watched like magpies which is Australias true terrorists.

Excellent Derek. I might take up golf!

I found this video rather interesting, the narration of the castles was very helpful. I’m glad I found it. Hopefully you will create many more UK based video’s. 👍

This clip was a suggestion from youtube, read the description, I had to watch it . I found this interesting , I have had a few near misses myself, birds like to look at drones, or attack maybe thinking it’s another bird. 👍 I pressed the like button and subscribed….

Hiw do you get to that flight information? Im new to drones just started flying my dji mini pro 4

Is this a bird strike or a bird attack?

Wow! I bet your heart was in your mouth! Thankfully I’ve not had to deal with a bird strike. Yet. New subscriber 👍

That's not a birdstrike for the drone, that's a dronestrike for the bird 😂

Interesting, where do you extract that detailed info from within the DJI app/software?

2 times I have been at the beach and the sea gulls have tried to attack my dji inspire 2 (a very large drone). I think I hate birds now.

Great info and video mate, I’ve had a few near misses with birds , I’ve heard reflective tape is better? Get that lottery on haha! Liked and also subbed your channel 🙂👌

If you were watching the drone, did you not see the bird attack it?

I'm impressed with all the error messages this drone can generate. I have an Air 3. I suspect that mine has the same error reporting capabilities. How did you access that error log?

I've got a flock of pigeons near my home, and they circle my drone if I loiter around. It got tagged once before I realised they would attach it as a flock. Red stripes did not work! Just have to rise 10m when I see them, maybe rising again if they persist.

I apply decals to the top of my drones which have the likeness of a hawk on them. Have had no bird strikes, but I don’t know if that is due to the decals or not!

All of my Mini drones have been attacked by birds, I lost my old Mini 2 to them, and then the replacement was attacked over the Irish Sea. This one damaged the props, but amazingly I got it back. I tried the coloured tape, didn't do a thing, then I found a solution.....I got a decal with a scary owl on it 😂. It worked until I upgraded and couldn't get a decal to fit.

Hi. Look for a bird that cannot land as it lacks its feet. 😁

Near the coast (UK) I had seagulls attack each and every time I raised the M4P above roof height. That was early July. Then in August, in a rural area that I've flown it with no problems for 9 months, the M4P was attacked by Starlings. On both occasions, no actual contact was made as I was close enough to see it coming and land the drone. I had wondered if it's something to do with the time of the year. This is my first year of flying, so I have nothing to reference.

I can inform you that especially the big birds of pray really don't care whatever you put on your drone. The only thing you can do if you know big birds are around is to keep a close eye on the drone and ascend fast if a bird is coming, because then they have to circle to get back.

This is one reason I’m very reluctant to get a DJI mini 4. I live in a no fly zone and will have to travel several miles from home to fly. We’ve also got giant hawks and eagles everywhere.

When I started in May this year with my mini 2SE I had no bird attacks what so ever, then got my mini 4 Pro a month later, flew it also bird free, then July came and birds became more curious and even had 1 attack at my drone. Think it's not just the drone but think it's the birds season of having younglings and seem more protected. I have placed red reflective tape on my drone and it seems to keep bigger birds away from it but I'm not sure about swallow as it often starts with one circling around and in a few minutes there like 5 to 8 flying around, had one even chasing the drone in the Sports mode direction I flew. Maybe Swallows are just curious as they have yet to attack really other then getting closer to it but I'm not taking any chances lol.

Clearly the solution is a bigger drone with metal blades and teach Mother Nature who’s boss here.

I’ve got red reflective tape on the top & legs of my Mini 2 (about £3 a roll from Amazon) and it does work. I’ve had birds go near the drone on several occasions and then retreat again when they see it. Sounds like you had a very lucky escape 👍🏼😯

Interesting and glad you got it back. My Air 2 was not so lucky when a crow grabbed it.

Great drone clips

That's a lot of information to analyze, but I trust your conclusions. Or, .....

Had a few bird encounters but never an attack fortunately. The closer to trees the more likely there are birds, also the type of bird makes a difference.

stupid fuckin birds ruin it all 😡🤬😠

this is why I am very scared and worried about flying my dji mini 3 pro higher and farther height and range ride because I’m afraid something like this could happen and it’s all over for me and my drone

Man, I am afraid of birds too. I fly an Air 3, it is heavier and noisier, which can deter birds. But I have giant birds here too. So far, I have noted they do go berserk when I launch or drones pass past them. But tbh, anything can happen at any time; birds are very nimble, and I don't think we can possibly out manoeuvre a strike.

I put a bright Orange colour on my mini 3 Pro. No idea if it makes a difference. But I haven't had any bird Strikes yet.

1:17 how do you get that log? I would like to see it after my flights

so it returned home wow

Thanks.. Not sure I can add you, i think its something only you can do it

Very good drone footage please 🙏 add me 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Buddy, enjoying watching you “work” and taking life at a perfect pace.. I’m heading dataway end of this year and getting down all your stop off and campsites to copy what you do.. watching from Australia.. keep up the good work 5 star

Thank you... We love Italy. There is so much to see. But where to start... We particularly liked Levante, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, Lucca, Florence Lake Bolseno....This list is going to be too long where ever you go I am sure you will enjoy.. We will probably travel there in September .. Enjoy

Very Interesting, we plan to go into Greece with our Camper Van in 2025. The Greek Ferry workers love shouting or Blowing their whistles. We are off to Italy next month for a quick 3 week tour around.

Great start, although a little disappointing that all of the videos are mixed up. We are looking to make a similar trip, and would liked to have followed the journey from start to finish in the correct order, hopefully you will be able to reorder them so we can watch more. Its too confusing trying to find out which one comes next after this first one.

Really interesting video, particularly as I am hoping to make the same trip next year. I have a slight advantage in that I’m starting from Nantwich, so 20 miles nearer, and don’t have to use the M53. Very informative, thanks.

'Or so I'm told' LOL. Interesting video.
