Recently found on a news website around the world was this interesting video clip which shows that birds of prey may well be the answer to the unwarranted miniature UAV drone menace – the hunter becomes the hunted:

Thanks Cilla and others for noticing this one! We may well have to re-think this cunning concept to extend FalconCam Project’s coverage of Beau and Swift at higher altitudes after all (not enough spare parts)!!
This vid link was posted on RSPB community forum a couple of days ago & there was some debate about which Hawk it was … naturally I said PF but others thought juvenile Red Tailed!!
Can you ID it Scott/Cilla?
well,another view. but do you really think this is a good idea? it sure disturbed these osprey. http://youtu.be/WvqD7wxC3uc
I’m pretty sure it was a red-tailed hawk. And no, I think they are a terrible idea!
