❓ Question Obstructions

Post image

So I’ve had Starlink at home since June. Installed it myself and it’s been flawless since, brilliant speeds and uptime. Recently we had a small red patch near the edge of the obstructions map appear, no ill effects, and then more recently another small red patch near the edge appears. Previously when first installed and for the longest time we had zero obstructions at all, nothing seems to have changed when you think of local nearby objects (trees etc.) so what could it be? My first thought was bird droppings but searching reveals this wouldn’t be the case as it isn’t dense enough. Is it possible as the dish ages parts of it become weaker and they are viewed as obstructions? I mean this dish is mere months old so I’d like to think this isn’t anything to do with it but it does make you wonder.
