Letter: Collateral damage

Published 9 January 2013

From Glenn Humphreys

The rise of small personal drones brings many issues (8 December 2012, p 42), including for wildlife. I fear that birds in areas where drones will be used could be in for a tough time, especially in war zones, where they might be shot down by mistake.
