Thermal Trails watches wildlife after dark
A Cheshire and North West service uses thermal detection and optical imaging to monitor wildlife on farms, estates, woodland and waterside sites.
- For
- Landowners and site managers in Cheshire and the North West
- Worth noticing
- Records can include approximate distance, direction, behaviour and weather; the service says it is not a substitute for formal ecological surveys.
Field notes
The workflow begins with a discussion of site access and the client's questions, then combines thermal detection with optical detail where conditions allow. The page says records may include approximate distance, direction, behaviour and weather, in addition to time and species. Its thermal scene is labelled illustrative, and the site explicitly distinguishes its observational work from formal ecological surveys and licensed protected-species work.
