Sorry to see that! Awesome footage but seagulls are the worst. Which drone did you lose?

Same here despite that red kite the other day though noticed it as I was walking back to my car from flying this afternoon. Then as I got into my car the rain came down with a vengeance - I was very lucky on both counts.

We've been having bright sunshine, then short sharp shower and repeat all day.

It was fine up in herts earlier where I was flying then poured down - arrived back in North London with blue sky and now we have a hailstorm - I couldn't of planned that better.

Hello there Tempostudio. Thank you for reaching out and for sharing this interesting video with us. It is great to know that the seagull was not harmed and that your DJI Drone was not damaged.  Just a reminder that birds are part of our environment and I'm sure they're not familiar to the drones that is why they react aggressively when they notice it. Thank you and please fly safe always.

That question was in direct reply to DAFlys - but good to know anyway.
