Wildlife, Ecological and Agricultural Surveys
Wildlife & Ecological Aerial Surveys
Non-invasive aerial data capture engineered for ecologists, land managers and agricultural operators. Deploying high-sensitivity radiometric thermal sensors and high-resolution optical cameras, we gather vital ecological data without species disturbance or site delays.
- Dual-Sensor Capabilities: Delivering synchronised visual and thermal datasets to support comprehensive environmental impact assessments.
- Mobile Command Centre: Executing structured field deployments directly from our custom 4x4 monitoring station to maintain efficient data workflows in remote environments.
- Low-Acoustic & Non-Invasive: Operating modern enterprise airframes at safe operational altitudes to minimise wildlife disturbance compared to traditional ground teams.
Nocturnal Bat Roost & Emergence Surveys
High-level aerial support for licensed ecologists conducting bat activity assessments and structural surveys. We run sustained early morning and late evening monitoring operations directly from our mobile field station.
- Inaccessible Features: Inspecting high-level rooflines, gables and masonry features that are physically impossible to observe from ground level.
- Nocturnal Tracking: Tracking emergence and flight paths against cooling building facades in total darkness without deploying intrusive site lighting.
- Thermal Roost Verification: Capturing radiometric thermal signatures directly on suspected entry points, structural gables and external wall cavities to confirm active roost locations for ecologist reporting.
Agricultural & Habitat Mapping
Deploying automated grid flights to stitch massive thermal and high-resolution optical orthomosaics. We map expansive tracts of farmland, rural estates and complex habitats to establish accurate ecological baselines.
- Macro-Level Baselines: Delivering contiguous spatial maps for environmental consultants to track land boundaries before heavy infrastructure or demolition projects begin.
- Agricultural Diagnostics: Stitching large-scale thermal orthomosaics to assess soil moisture, track crop health and map water runoff across expansive rural estates.
- Habitat Classification: Supplying high-resolution visual data to support habitat classification, watercourse checks and invasive species tracking.
Pre-Harvest & Ground Ecology
Rapid aerial field scanning executed prior to harvesting or site clearance to pinpoint ground-nesting species and leverets hidden within deep vegetation.
- Wildlife Protection: Supplying real-time field coordinates to steer heavy machinery safely around active nesting sites.
- Mammal Counts: Detecting hidden body heat signatures through dense foliage during dawn and dusk mammal population surveys.
- Immediate Delivery: Delivering live on-site thermal feedback directly to harvest operators ahead of cutting.
- Rapid Field Coverage: Replacing slow manual walkovers with automated overhead grid passes across massive agricultural acreages.
