Hello,
Martins often catch prey on the wing, drones
in DCAs, -traveling to and from would be at risk.
The odds are greatly against queens getting
eaten by birds when you consider there can
be 11.000 or more drones in a DCA, -drones
may take several flights per day, while queens
may take a single flight of 30 minutes or less.
Best wishes
