Awesome footage mate. The ducks didn't seem bothered at all. Esp the one on the wall.... If anything he probably thought you was a Swan lol. Nice to get footage of animals and tech together. So many documentaries use drones now for footage of animals. Keep it up mate. Really nice relaxing footage [emoji4]
And a man was arrested near the Grand Teton National Park for chasing Elk with a drone. There's nothing cool about it so don't do it! The birds did not look terribly upset here but on another occasion they could have reacted by attacking the drone which might hurt/kill the bird and the drone.
A while back someone posted a video of him chasing a bird from tree to tree with a drone -- how the heck is it not obvious that that is a bad thing to do?
I'll say it again -- do NOT harass wildlife with a drone, or anything else for that matter. This is an area where we need to NOT anger others that are already predisposed to banning drones. Even if you care nothing about the wildlife, and shame on you if you do, there can be consequences for drone operators. We are already banned in National Parks and many state parks and every time some drone pilot is seen harassing wildlife the odds of more areas being made off limits increases.
