Hello,
i don't know if it's because of it's small size, but I have the impression that the Spark "attracts" much more birds than larger drones.
I even have quite a lot of bird "crossing" trajectories on the videos that I did not detect during the flight. Especially a lot a very fast flying swifts.
Could it be an explaination to some of the "Spark falling out from sky" events ?

Swifts and swallow's seem to be attracted to spark, I think size has a lot to do with it. Regarding crash well I think we would be able to see on video or fpv if this was the case, but who knows.

Swifts flying round all the time this afternoon when I did my Panorama shots. Flew round her and left her alone. There are loads round us and they do the same with my P4P. I can also see them in vids but never fly close enough to ground either of my birds.

I saw a youtube video that was recently posted.   Some guy figured out how to deter birds from approaching his drones because he had lost 3 drones and was sick of it.   He's supposed to be revealing his new invention soon.  that could be interesting.  Ill have to see if I can find the video.   it was something like "Avoiding drone bird attacks"    I was just outside with my phnatom and several hawks looked quite interested.  eeek..
