No birds were seen in the drone footage so that's pure speculation.
Aaaand another thing - no birds were seen in the drone footage possibly because an attack came from the rear or
above the drone. That might be an explanation for those feathery things
on top of the drone - and why couldn't that brownish thing in the centre of the image simply be the back end of a bird beating a hasty retreat, sans a few feathers and nursing a sore foot?
The drone was apparently tumbling downwards at the time so it's not really surprising the image
away from the camera is so jumbled but of course, an object attached to the drone + camera and within the field of view would - and has - been captured quite well.
