Drones can be annoying, but they are everywhere anymore. Not around here much thank goodness due to airports being too close and the government restricts their flight within a certain distance of airports. But beaches are a different story, there you are fair game! Nice shots of the drone, they must not have had much interest in you since you were photographing it too! lol
Nice shots of the sunbirds, those males really are pretty aren't they? I imagine birds would tend to avoid drones assuming them to be some sort of predator. So they wisely hid in the branches as to not be seen!
It's good that you have mellowed out with age, yes, a well thrown rock wouldn't have done that drone any favors. But then you get some irate and crazy drone owner after you. Who needs that? Plus, like you said, why get your blood pressure all worked up over a stupid drone. It's just the world today... If Amazon gets their way soon they will be delivering packages everywhere to save the cost of paying drivers. Corporations will go to any lengths to save a dollar...
Thanks for sharing some more great pictures!
