This is why we can't have nice things! Talking about the Bosa Chica drone incident

Two irresponsible drone pilots, flying their drones in a restricted area, caused the abandonment of over 3,000 eggs, threatening an entire bird colony. These sorts of incidents are fortunately few and far between, but when they happen they threaten the on-going viability of the entire recreational drone industry and the hobbyists that use those drones.

I own an Air 2S and DJI's manual refers to it as an "aircraft". That wording reminds me that I'm flying a machine that could be a hazard or a potential cause of injury and/or property damage (I have Coverdrone insurance). It's an important distinction in wording that reminds me of my responsibilities. I'm fortunate to have access to a large public area that is only occasionally used by other people (walkers mainly, although model aircraft flyers are nearby from time to time). I never fly below 30 meters and mostly above 50, because of the presence of sheep on parts of this area. I'm getting training before I move to locations that are not wide open spaces, but I intend to remain far away from people and buildings.

We have a bit of space here in NSW too, but drone access to it is in a grey area. :)
