    Will there be consequences for shooting a drone on your own land I wonder ?
    Will they easily tracked after one was shot down ?
    had a lad here a few months ago he lost his drone, had a vague idea where it was, he was offering a reward, he thought it might be up our fields somewhere, never heard any more from him

    Have to say the drone thing looks like bit of fun and if it had any decent recording equipment it would be an interesting view of your own farm..

    Oh, and I think the recording is on the drone, on basic one's anyway.

    Here's my bit on Drones............. There was talk of gettin them in work, infact there was one on trial. But my understanding of the situation is that the legislation has changed and a pilots lic is required to fly a drone over a particular weight. I'm told if there's a camera on board, the drone will be over this weight. So this has tightened up big time on they're use.

    Last year for about three weeks I had a fcuker of a blackbird that would peck at the glass panel beside the back door and as are bedrooms are downstairs the frigger would wake me about half four, i'd go out and chase him away and then five minutes later he'd re-appear at the front door and peck at the glass panel there. Every morning for three weeks this pantomime went on...:rolleyes:

    they had the alarm crowd out last week, they said nearly all the calls they are getting are due to birds. Parents also had a bird that would crap on the patio door every day, my mother was going mad, my dad set a rat trap and it caught the bird's tail feathers , it never came back:)

    My parents used to have a harness they attached to me for those occasions so I couldn't get to faraway! Thursday would be a better day to go but I'd rather a bit of a dry day! I'd say it has to be the guts of ten years since I went!
