Drones

Timrob's post about photographing a Sea Eagle's nest from above & his concern about not using a drone has prompted me to ask if anyone knows of any methods for deterring or eliminating drones that might buzz natural areas & interfere with bird & other wildlife.

I can quite envisage my relatively new neighbours buying a drone or two & use them to scare the daylights out of any wildlife that might pop up on their radar. So a little planning for such an eventuality could be handy.

I hesitate to be frivolous Woko, but a slingshot with an in-shell macadamia nut could be useful.

No doubt our politicians have already let the drone genie out of the bottle. I've already informed one drone seller at a local shopping mall that if one of his drones damages me or mine then there'll be a big fat damages suite awaiting his arrival home from a day of droning.
