Deer drone surveys is our main area of work and we have successfully conducted hundreds of surveys for a number of organisations and on all types of terrain. We have established long term contracts with many of the large landowning organisations which ensures we operate and delivery to the highest levels at all times.
Depending on the timing and season the survey is conducted, we are able to accurately identify species, gender, age class of deer and even how deer utilise a site. We have worked with many different species of deer in the UK.
With deer generally being crepuscular or nocturnal, it has historically proven to be difficult to produce accurate population counts. The latest drone technology has revolutionised the ability to gain accurate data quickly allowing land managers to make informed choices that are backed up by photographic evidence.
Deer drone survey packages
Basic deer survey package
where a simple minimum count is required and the main output is a map showing the population within a defined area. These areas are typically smaller in size (< 500 hectares) such as woodland creation areas where you just need to check if deer have breached the fence. This survey is not suitable for large complex sites or sites with multiple species. The main outputs include:
- Clear aerial map showing locations of the deer
- All imagery transferred across using a cloud based program
Full Comprehensive survey package
This package allows for comprehensive analysis including the following:
- Report analysing the findings – distribution and range of all deer recorded
- Clear aerial map showing locations of the deer
- All imagery transferred across using a cloud based program
This package is suitable for any area and is not size dependent.
