Wildlife Surveys: Monitoring Local Biodiversity
Our team conducts regular surveys to understand and protect native species, including:
Bird Surveys & Bird ringing:
Observing bird species across the safari and attaching lightweight rings to birds to monitor their movements and behaviours.Pollinator Surveys:
Monitoring bees, butterflies, and wasps to understand their populations and behaviours.Aquatic Invertebrate Assessments:
Exploring ponds and streams for creatures like freshwater shrimp and tadpoles – a scientific take on grown-up pond dipping!Small Mammal Counts:
Monitoring populations of species like field mice and pygmy shrews during the summer months.Bat Surveys:
From checking cosy hibernation boxes and counting roosting bats to using echolocation detectors and watching bats swoop over waterways, our bat surveys are as exciting as they are essential!
