Guys,
Interesting, useful stuff as usual, but uncool and potentially illegal to disrespect wildlife. Even more uncool to condone such behaviour on your podcast.
As landscape lovers you may want to pay more attention to the hawks, the slugs and the rodents that maintain those ecosystems beautifully for us.
Perhaps think about how you can use your drones to combat poaching and other conservation work.
