Disturbance from drones

Homebird

I have just seen on the news that distribution of deliveries by drone are extending to another area. I don't think they could ever do it where I live because they might drop in the wrong garden. However as there is countryside nearby they could fly over. I imagine it could be worse if you moved to live somewhere quiet in the countryside. 

What do others think?

  • People think the countryside is quiet, it's not, here for example you have an RAF base with planes taking off and landing all day.

    Both wild and farm animals can make a hell of a noise, often at odd times of day, having a rookery nearby is really noisy, in spring if you live near sheep you will hear lambs and ewes constantly calling each other day and night. Then there's farm machinery, farmers regualarly work late into the evening/night to get hay in.

    I can understand the concerns I'm not sure I'd like it either, it would depend on how big the drones are, I can see that they spook a lot of animals which could be dangerous, if young cattle start stampeding or ewes miscarry their lambs. I don't think they have the battery life to deliver here, thatsd one pluse point about the countryside, the distances from depot to customer.
