Wildlife Drone Surveys
Cutting-Edge Aerial Wildlife Detection
Wildlife Drone Surveys
Our wildlife drone surveys utilise the latest in aerial technology to detect and monitor wildlife across vast or hard-to-reach areas. Equipped with advanced thermal imaging and high-resolution cameras, our drones provide accurate and efficient species identification, ensuring minimal disturbance to natural habitats while delivering reliable environmental data.
We deploy industry-leading drones, including the DJI Matrice 30T thermal drone with spotlight attachments for enhanced nocturnal and low-light surveys. This cutting-edge drone detects heat signatures of wildlife, making it ideal for spotting nocturnal species such as koalas, possums, and flying foxes, even in dense foliage or concealed roosts.
For smaller-scale surveys, such as active nest monitoring, we utilise the DJI Air 3 Pro, which provides exceptional agility and precision. This drone is perfect for close-range observations, ensuring that nesting birds and other sensitive fauna are monitored with minimal impact on their natural behaviour.
By integrating drone technology into fauna assessments, we provide fast, cost-effective, and highly accurate results. Developers, councils, and environmental managers can make informed decisions with confidence, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements while minimising project delays.
The ability to cover large or inaccessible areas quickly translates to significant time and cost savings, making drone surveys a smart investment for projects requiring precise ecological data. Whether you need to detect nocturnal species, monitor active nests, or conduct large-scale biodiversity assessments, our drone surveys deliver unparalleled efficiency and accuracy.
When Are Drone Surveys Required?
Drone fauna surveys are an essential tool for biodiversity assessments, environmental impact studies, and compliance monitoring. They are particularly useful for detecting wildlife in dense vegetation, rugged landscapes, or remote locations where traditional survey methods are inefficient. These surveys are frequently used in Koala surveys, habitat mapping, pre-clearance assessments, and nest activity monitoring, providing high-quality data for conservation planning and regulatory approvals.
When Are Drone Surveys Required?
Drone surveys offer several advantages over ground-based techniques, including:
Enhanced Detection Capabilities – Thermal imaging and high-resolution cameras identify species even in complete darkness or obscured habitats.
Non-Intrusive Monitoring – Surveys are conducted from the air, eliminating the need for direct contact or habitat disturbance.
Greater Efficiency – Large areas can be surveyed in a fraction of the time required for traditional methods.
Improved Safety – Avoids the risks associated with navigating difficult terrain or hazardous environments.
