is anyone else encountering these annoying machines? Both yesterday and today I've been birdwatching in public parks when someone has come along with a small drone. Yesterday it was a young person - maybe young teenager - using a drone at Point
Hut Pond Park - and actually chasing a swamphen with it! The adult with this young person was on his phone the whole time, not watching what was going on. Today it was a park in Macarthur, and almost as soon as I arrived there was a VERY noisy small drone
being operated by a young man. The birds all took off in alarm - rosellas, cockatoos, noisy miners etc. I gave up and left.
The ACT government apparently isn't responsible for drones in the ACT - CASA is, and there don't seem to be any rules about their use in places like suburban parks..
