Most seagull species build their nests on the ground and in colonies, so it should be fairly obvious to see if that is the case in your example. If the gulls are attracted to the drone out of curiosity then there's not much you can do to stop that, apart from not flying any where near there at all. However, seagulls have become an urban bird and can be seen all over the UK and often 20 or 30 miles inland, so who's to say the same can't happen anywhere near the coast or some way inland. So is the solution to use prop guards? That way the birds are offered protection, the Mavic is too and then you can find out if they would attack your drone in relative safety.
If this were a flock of Golden Eagles or Peregrine Falcons then it would be fairly obvious not to fly in their territorial area, but gulls have become urban scavengers in great numbers, so I don't believe you are affecting the balance of nature here. |
