Flying my drone over my garden to get some areal shots for a landscaping idea.
Kept the flight within my property boundary and was no lower than 18 meter.
I live on a estate of curtain twitchers and keyboard warriors. Yet nobody actually knows who lives two doors down from there front door.
We have “village” Facebook page that is normally fully of pointless news or people drying to get rid of stuff.
This comment appeared withing minuets of me doing my 10 minuet flight!
“To whoever is flying a drone directly over our garden: please stop. It’s disturbing our use of the garden and raising privacy concerns. Thank you”.
This was from next door. Who could have just come over and spoken to me. I did not see them in there back garden and if they where in the front garden the view of that from where I was standing was blocked by the house. The drone was defiantly NOT over there garden.
My response was:
“That was me. Photographing my garden for some planting ideas. The flight was within my property boundary’s. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Happy to share the photos with you if that would help with your concerns,”
Then a total stranger commented.
“you could have saved yourself from this if only you had spoken to your neighbour first.”
I have not as yet given a reply and probaly will just ignore it.
