Having spent 6 years writing a paper and 6 days searching for a missing subscript, this comment from a coauthor has made my week:

I am looking for a short video of multi (two or more) species of seabirds in a foraging interaction. The footage must be taken from above, ideally from a drone. The footage is for developing statistical techniques and would not be published. Can anyone help?
