Bird attack! Unusual attack on a drone by peregrine falcon - nearly took the drone out of the sky. Fortunately the drone recovered and was able to be landed safely. Evasive action is usually to climb vertically but as the drone was at the legal ceiling height this was not possible.

Many years ago I was flying in a radio controlled glider race on the Pacific coast near Watsonville, CA. I was in the lead when a small falcon flew in next to the fuselage behind the wing. It kept reaching up with its claws trying to grasp the trailing edge of the wing. I would dive to get away because I was afraid if it got ahold it would change the balance and maybe cause me to crash. It stayed with my sailplane for at least four circuits. Afterwards the other fliers kept asking for one of the brood!

Looks like a young one by the brown streaked chest, no doubt adults know better than to risk injury

I would think this would certainly qualify as an emergency situation justifying a departure from the max ceiling rule in order to avoid injury to the bird and loss of your drone. I wouldn't feel like another 50 feet or so in height to gain altitude on the bird temporarily to be unreasonable.

I agree with that, but I bet the CAA wouldn't ! It's such a shame that the over-reaching rules often make us a lot less safe than we could be if we weren't tied to them, this situation being a notable example...

Me too - but I doubt it as that would have stopped the rotors causing the demise of the drone

I would have just flown above the legal height limit. It's very unlikely that the police will detect that and even if they detected it's unlike they will fine for breaking the height limit unless there are aircrafts nearby

Hate that im the only one saying this. If a bird flairs in front of your drone, fly higher or lower and leave the area. Staying put such as you did only prolongs the encounter, allowing for damage to the drone and possible injury to the bird. Very irresponsible.

Avian predators really seem to have issues about their personal space....which they are under the impression is the wide open sky, as far as they can see. You just know some falcon or eagle decided to go after a 747 at some point, and got owned.
