A woman lost her temper at a nosy neighbour's drone and aimed a gun at it to make it buzz off.

The woman, from Bellevue, Washington, looked worried by the aircraft that was flying over her garden and balcony.

After throwing what appeared to be stones at the device she then grabbed a gun and appeared to try to fire the aerial spy out of the sky.

In the clip, the drone hovered above the woman's garden for several seconds before she came out on to the balcony.

As she stared at the drone, it backed away.

She then turned away and picked up what appeared to be two stones before hurling them at the aerial spy.

After missing her target, she headed inside.
