Pest species ... Would it be wrong??

So ... after a rest of a couple of years, I have my rifles firing again. At the weekend, I brushed off the camo and put it on to see if it still fits ..
And set out a few HFT targets in the garden. I was merrily going about having a plink when i was disturbed by a loud hum in the air. Looked up to see a drone above the neighbor's garden. Fair enough, i thought. Someone is enjoying their hobby. It zoomed off and away over the fields and I thought nothing of it.
5 mins. later, it comes back and starts to hover above the garden on the other side. This time, it stays there for a full 10 minutes and then I realize it is actually circling my garden! I have a den I built for the kids so I take my rifle in there to see what happens next. It remains above my garden and it was plain to see it was trying to find me I could have easily taken it down because it was amazingly still in the air and only about 25 yards away - my zero distance I have permission over the fields and there is absolutely no activity there ... just stubble where the pellet would have landed if I missed.
Was it wrong for me to have such thoughts?
