An unexpected addition to our thermal dazzling session with farmer Andy last night in Staffordshire, together with a Grey Partridge & 8 new Skylarks we found this October Quail! Our first ringed on the farm @thermal4birding.bsky.social @tj-focus.bsky.social

Fantastic to see Ringers, Birders and ecologists using thermal to watch Nightjars, which prevents the need for white hankies and tape lures, which must be a positive. #birdinggear
Great to see Nightjars back on Cannock Chase last night with the first male caught and ringed of the season. Great to see such good habitat on @StaffordshireCC and amazing support from their wardens.

A very short clip taken last night on Cannock Chase, first Nightjar of the season seen!! The earliest encounter we've had by 8 days (previous earliest seen by us was 28th April). Showing the value of thermal cameras for finding wildlife!!! #birds

Thermal drones detect rare tree kangaroos in Australia
Tree kangaroos, which live high up in the tall rainforest trees of New Guinea and Australia, are usually very hard to spot from the ground. But thermal drones, which detect animals from their body heat, can help find these animals quickly, a new study has found. In November 2024, Emmeline Norris, a Ph.D. student at James Cook University in Australia and the study’s lead author, was flying thermal drones from atop a 47-meter (154-feet) crane located in Daintree Rainforest Observatory, a research station run by the university in the Cape Tribulation rainforests. Norris was opportunistically searching for spectacled

Very good review of the HIK, which is why when people ask us about thermals we always talk about the sensors compared to Pulsar. HIK give a decent image in good conditions. Pulsar give a good image no matter the weather and are more sensitive so pick up more. #birdinggear
#birdinggear more field trials of the HIKMICRO Lynx Pro LH25. This time in mizzle and then heavy drizzle. The good, works very well in mist/light drizzle and was a godsend as glasses/binoculars kept misting up. The bad, heavy drizzle mask the thermal image of small birds and beyond 50m 1/2

Some extreme nature spotting today on the high Cairngorm plateau.
Saw 3 Mountain Hares and 46 Snow Buntings but only the tracks of Ptarmigan (which I've seen before).
Blurry photo of Snow Buntings flying over me on the Fiacall Ridge. Better pic at ski centre.

Recently we wanted to see whether there were any Hares using one of the fields.
We established using the Pulsar Telos XP50 that the field had a number of Common Snipe, as well as Red-Legged Partridge and up to 30 Hares. Great footage too! #birdinggear
