Indeed, I've had an encounter with these oystercatchers aswell, and its definately territory driven reactions, they don't need to be breeding for them to intimate you out of their territory.
And watch out for them, because they will come after you in organised flocks, even if you come in at 200 ft. altitude. Fleeing will get them to gain confidence and spearing of into the heigt will just let them make a pass at you again half a minute later.
Best thing to do in my experience with these oyster cathers in my experience is just let your drone hover before leaving their territory, if they see that the 'intruder' isn't intimidated, they'll stop attacking.
