Enhancing Success Rates with Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging has become a game-changer in our operations. Unlike traditional methods reliant on visual and auditory cues, thermal imaging allows us to detect heat signatures emitted by animals, including elusive roe deer, in various environmental conditions. This capability enhances our ability to locate and monitor deer populations with greater accuracy and efficiency.
Recently, during an observation exercise, I had the opportunity to demonstrate the practical application of thermal imaging. Embedded below is a video showcasing how this technology enabled me to approach roe deer undetected, a feat that might have been challenging using conventional methods alone. This ability not only facilitates closer observation but also aids in gathering crucial data for population assessments and behavioural studies.
