I'm in the USA and this is one of the reasons that the FAA considers a drone the same as a full size commercial aircraft. It is a felony offense to shoot at a drone.
Yep. And protection against a felony attack is... well, shots fired....
Even though you have open fields presumably to the rear of your house, I would guess your living in a normal residential area where you have houses across the road from the front of your house and extending to other houses on the same side of the road as yours. If so I would say your not flying legally, which does not mean the idiot next door can take the law into his own hands and shoot your drone down.
(a) over or within 150 metres of any congested area;
What is a congested area?
The Air Navigation Order defines a congested area as being 'any area of a city, town or settlement which is substantially used for residential, industrial, commercial or recreational purposes'.

I lived in the west wales sticks in a large old house with a massive garden, (now I live in warm, drone friendly thailand) and for many years experienced overt harrassment from my neighbours who didnt like my Indian wife and my english accent and fancy cars, simple as that. Also I worked for MoD - another no no in hippy trippy land. My daughter's P3P drone was being flown legally and of course brought the tired plod (Heddlu) around forthwith. I would say that as long as you are absolutely sure you are within your rights (30M) to t/o then on return to land the video was made in the normal course of flight data/telemetry recording for personal use and for the improvement of your flying/safety skills, however you witnessed an alleged crime being committed of which you retained the video as evidence, for use prospectively in court. It's up to plod to decide on using such evidence, if you have really good evidence of this asxshoxle taking a pot-shot at you (which is an act of criminal intention) then use it - I would. I sent formal letters from my company to all my "neighbours" informing them of our legal use of the drone and referring them to the relevant ANO especially as we lived under Aberporth D zone where they fly "real" drones (big noisy things). That shut them up, the neighbours but not Aberporths Grim Reapers ... With regards to our American friend's comments, yep get out the M16 and if the drone is damaged it could end up being planted in the jerks face, of course occifer, you lost control and it sliced off his nose!! Just wiggle the joystick as it comes down 
! (you'll make a fortune from the video rights which will pay for lawyers..)

Drone pilots symposium 1st Sunday of every month.....fields behind Liam_89's.....Seriously though, I would definitely report the incident so it is on record should any "accident " occur in the future
We Brits always carry spare tea bags and a pot around, especially on cold nights or when under attack, when you understand the psychosomatic improvement benefits of Theanine in Tea, then maybe you guys will wean yourselves off coffee?!!! It will help dealing with Trumpski

Their whine resonates on the 2.4 ghz freq. ..kinda headache like.
This does not jive with the video of cops shooting at a mans drone flying near them.
And that there is why the rest of the world thinks the USA is nothing but trigger happy thugs. I am a responsible gun owner, would never threaten deady force against a neighbor over property damage to drone.Funny how different the UK is. If it were me I'd have simply called on my wife to bring one of my hand guns before I bought the bird back
not over a drone, over a felony since drone cost makes it one.
