A group of campaigners is concerned
that Amazon drone
tests will severely unsettle owls and other rare birds in the UK.
Amazon is quietly testing its 25kg delivery drones,
which can fly at speeds of up to 50mph, at a historical site in the
Cambridgeshire countryside, according to multiple reports.
The company's unmanned aerial
vehicles are being flown over a 2,000-year-old road just outside Balsham, east
of Cambridge, the BBC reported last week. The site — known as the
Roman Road and Fleam Dyke trail — runs through an area that's home to a number
of rare birds, according to The Mirror, including long-eared owls, turtle
doves, buzzards, and hawks.
