We are surrounded by equestrian and crop fields, and these last couple of weeks the bird scarers (very large bangs) and shot guns have been very promenant, there are scarecrows in most of the neighboring fields too.
I'm guessing this is the problem, as we are probably the only queit bit of land in the area atm, so their safe haven.
We've got an Army firing range 300m from our house, yet they're still around.
We've a friend who works for the council and she said they get complaints about the noise from the firing range. It's only been there 200 years!
They're the same type of people who move near a race track and complain about the noise.
I find the noise of machine guns strangely therapeutic for some reason.
