I may be in a minority, but I am not a fan of these "bird Vs Remote Control
whatever" situations. It boils down to this: it may look like a harmless
encounter, but I know what drone propellors can do to a human fingertip.
That raptor came at the drone in the usual attack posture with its feet
extended.
As much as I would rather not dwell on it, it is quite possible the bird actually lost badly in that encounter; it's just we don't see that. I encourage a more thought-through appreciation of what may be - in reality - mishap videos. |
