How can you track bats?
Tracking micro-bats with radio telemetry has been the go-to method for anyone seeking to understand movements and locate roosting sites of these tiny creatures. But the effort involved to find tagged bats using hand-held receivers has always been a costly and daunting task. Radio-tracking remains the only viable solution for tracking such tiny animals that move across large landscapes in unknown ways. Although, due to the limited detection range, many people have traditionally spent hours traipsing across vast (and sometimes inhospitable) terrain whilst holding a radio receiver and yagi antenna aloft for hours on end in the hope of detecting their tagged bats.
In contrast, using Wildlife Drones to track microbats you can cover up to 80 ha in a single flight and gain confidence on where your bats are (or aren’t) across the landscape. Drones are perfect for any terrain and can survey even the most rugged of mountains. Radio-tracking drones are proving to be an efficient and effective solution.
