Being flown by a visitor to Thursley Common National Nature Reserve, Surrey. After a short discussion to make him understand that legislation other than the Air Navigation Order governs use of drones, including the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, he brought it down and walked off just carrying it, which is the only reason his photo is not alongside this one...
The thing that baffles me is why anyone with two brain cells to rub together would think that there has to be a law for them not to fly a drone in a National Nature Reserve (or for that matter in a Local Nature Reserve or any other wildlife sanctuary)? Surely the smallest smidgen of common sense would lead one only to visit a nature reserve to engage with nature and not risk disturbing it?
